Powell Miller remained jailed as his father sought a $2,000 bond. Witnesses placed Miller on Beckley streets during the time Raleigh taxi driver Oliver was robbed of $365 on Maxwell Hill. Several motorists, including Farley and Harris, testified Miller was seen in the city around 9 to 10 p.m. Sunday, with multiple accounts tying him to the scene.
