Keith Smith, 29, said he needs $2,000 because if he goes back to jail he believes he will die.

Smith was initially arrested in December of 2019 on multiple charges, including committing a sex crime on a person between ages 12 to 16.

The GoFundMe.com account has now been removed after raising $0. It’s unclear if the website took it down or Smith removed it.

Smith’s last known address is in Keystone Heights.

If you see him, call the Clay County Sheriff’s Office.
