The St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Office is seeking Justin Miller who is involved in the injury of a narcotic’s detective.
Narcotics detectives with the St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s office were conducting operations just north of Sunset on the afternoon of May 29.
The target of the investigation, Miller, was in a vehicle on the parking lot of the Dollar General Market on Hwy 182, according to a news release from Sheriff Bobby Guidroz.
As the detectives approached Miller in his car, Miller drove off, striking one of the detectives, Guidroz stated.
The officer is still hospitalized and will require months of rehabilitation for his injuries. Miller sped away, leading deputies on a pursuit in a residential area, he stated. All of this was done with four juveniles occupying the vehicle, one of them autistic, Guidroz added.
Miller is now on the run, and may be armed and certainly capable of violence. Justin Miller is a black male, 5’7” and 145 lbs. with long dreads. Miller is wanted on attempted first-degree murder, four counts of child endangerment, aggravated flight, resisting an officer with force or violence, as well as narcotics charges.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Miller can contact St. Landry Crime Stoppers at 948-TIPS, or download our P3 app and “Tap the App” to submit your anonymous tips.
