The dad of 10 says he was unaware his friend had the marijuana, and said the pair “fully cooperated with the officer.” He finished the statement by saying, “I am hopeful the misdemeanor charges will be dropped once the facts are reviewed.”
Miller’s wish came true the next day, when TMZ reported they were told by the prosecutor in the case:
I can confirm our office is dismissing the misdemeanor charges against Mr. Miller. Although the deputy had sufficient probable cause to arrest Mr. Miller at the beginning of June, we recently received information which resulted in our office determining it is in the interest of justice to dismiss Mr. Miller’s misdemeanor charges. I will not be discussing the specifics of this recent information due to it being related to another active case.
