On July 24, Davon Miller, 34, was formally sentenced to 3 months in jail for possession of cocaine and $1,200 in court costs that must be paid before he is released.
Miller recently moved from a rented home at 10573 Belleville Road in Van Buren Township. According to VBT Police, a search warrant was executed by the SIU and other officers from VBT at that location on Aug. 23, 2012.
At the time, besides Miller, Rodrique Bighman and Miller’s mother Valerie Barnes were also arrested and quantities of narcotics were seized.
Between August and when Miller picked up his two pitbulls at the end of May, numerous calls from residents to the Police Department, Animal Control, and the pitbull rescue Buster Foundation were made to address concerns over the welfare of the dogs running at large, being alone in the home, and the safety of the public.
Charges of possession of marijuana and habitual offender were dismissed for Miller’s guilty plea of possession of cocaine.
Miller arrived at Judge James R. Chylinski’s courtroom on crutches for sentencing at the Frank Murphy Hall of Justice in Detroit. Judge Chylinski noted that Miller had been in a wheel chair the last time he was in court and was glad he appeared to be getting better.
