Miller has a history of substance abuse. He crashed his G Wagon while drunk driving at the beginning of May 2018. He was driving in the San Fernando Valley early in the morning. He hit a power pole and knock it down. He and his friend fled the scene after the crash. His plates were ran, he was later arrested. His BAC was supposedly twice the legal limit.
He was then arrested and taken to jail. His bail was set at $15,000.
