According to the Cocoa Beach police authority, Miller is delivered to the prison of Brevard County in Florida for sexual battery and battery.

“Thanks to our partners in the FDLE and the Cincinnati Police Department, the police authority of Cocoa Beach is extended for their invaluable support. This case remembers: If you commit a crime in the city of Cocoa Beach, we will pursue the judiciary in a press release – independent state lines”.
