Miller Accused of Home Break-Ins and Assaults on Maine and Missouri Streets
Miller allegedly broke into a Maine Street house where college students were entertaining. A witness testified she walked in as he entered with a gun and he aimed it at her, promising not to hurt anyone before leaving. He then attacked two women in a Missouri Street house, fled after an altercation, and was later found hiding in a basement in socks. Detectives say he gave a two and a half hour video confession. His attorney seeks to suppress parts of the statements. He is held on a $1 million bond, trial set for the week of March 28.

Policy continues on transcript notations for serious offenses
The proposal would require nonacademic expulsions to be noted on a student's transcript for assault homicide kidnapping or forcible sex offenses. If a disciplinary decision is reversed on appeal the notation must be removed. FERPA provisions largely guide the language, with universities free to add tougher policies if desired.
