His arrest occurred after Greenfield Police Officer Josh Armstrong noticed at around 11:37-p.m., Tuesday, a 2010 Cadillac rapidly accelerate away from a stop sign at the intersection of Highways 25 & 92, in Greenfield, at around . As the officer was following the vehicle, he saw the car swerving between the lines, and crossing the fog line. The officer’s radar indicated the car was traveling at erratic speeds, from the low 50’s to the high 70’s.

When Officer Armstrong flipped on his patrol vehicle’s emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop, the car failed to pull over, and instead turned west onto 280^th Street, while increasing in speed. The pursuit ended with Miller fleeing on foot near Orient, and being tracked by Madison County Deputy Edwards and his K9 partner “Orozco.” Miller was found with the keys to the vehicle in his possession.

Canine Orozco was named in memory of Omaha Police Officer Kerrie Orozco, who died in the line of duty on May 20^th, 2015.
