According to authorities, Miller was located at Washington Park and subsequently arrested.

Records show that Miller has a history of criminal convictions, including assault on a public safety officer in 2013, felon in possession of a firearm in 2014, and criminal trespass in 2011, all in Douglas County, Oregon. He is currently being held without bail for a parole violation stemming from a 2015 case in Multnomah County, Oregon.During his 2015 incarceration, Miller reportedly told jail staff that he heard voices inside a church telling him, 'I am a computer, I am your God and you will submit.'
