John M. Smith, ex-Lee’s Summit City Council member, accused of punching teen in the face

Whippersnappers beware:  You don’t want to fuck with former Lee’s Summit City Council member John M. Smith lest he give you a knuckle sandwich.

Smith, 70, was at a football game last week when he was hit in the neck by a plastic soda bottle, the Star reported. So Smith hauled off and decked a 17-year-old high school student. Smith told police that the student had “got in our faces” and “I’m 70 years old and don’t need to be lectured.” But there’s one problem: Smith is accused of hitting the wrong student.
