The Georgetown Police received a call on Saturday night for a burglary in progress at 150 Edwards Ave. The suspect, according to the Georgetown Police report, had apparently hid himself at closing time; only to be discovered by one of the employees in a routine check of the premises to ensure no one had remained.
The suspect then, using a pocket knife, cut through the screening of three booths and took a glass jar of change - "valued at $100.00" - but cut himself in the process and left the knife at the scene. As he exited the building, leaving a trail of blood, he was subsequently apprehended at the corner of Gilbert and Edwards Ave.
The arresting officer found a flannel shirt and the missing jar at the same location as the arrest. When asked to identify himself by Georgetown Police the suspect gave them a different name. After being warned by the officer that doing so again was illegal, he persisted in giving a false name, and was arrested at 9:45 p.m.
Miller has been charged with Burglary in the second degree, Theft by unlawful taking, and Giving a peace officer a false name or address. He's currently being held at The Scott County Jail pending a court hearing. More to come on this case as it develops.
