On May 22, Davon Miller, 34, who recently moved out of a home at 10573 Belleville Road in Van Buren Township, appeared with his attorney Mark Hugger in Judge Brian Oakley’s Romulus courtroom at 34th District Court.
According to VBT Detective Charles Bazzy, Miller turned himself in May 3 at 34th District Court to face felony drug charges. The warrants were approved by the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office on Aug. 23.
An Oct. 10 warrant states that he is a habitual offender.
Miller waived his right to a preliminary exam at district court and had his case transferred to circuit court at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice in Detroit to be arraigned June 5 on the information.
Judge Oakley also dealt with Miller’s two misdemeanors for dog at large and no dog license, written for an April 6 offense in VBT.
Miller was ordered to pay $225 for fines. Miller’s attorney requested lower payments for his client. Judge Oakley granted the request and on June 1, Miller’s $40 per month payment will be lowered to $25. Hugger had suggested that $10 would be better, but Judge Oakley declined that request.
In early May several VBT police officers chased one of Miller’s pit bulls on Belleville Road after it had chewed its way through a garage door.
Neighbors worried for their safety and the safety of another dog at that address, across from Applebee’s on Belleville Road. The renters told police the dogs were taken off the property when they moved, but reportedly the dogs were still there as of Saturday.
Miller is out on $10,000 personal bond.
