Assault on Mendocino correctional deputy



On 05-04-2019 at about 7:25 PM, a Mendocino County Sheriff's Deputy was dispatched to the Mendocino County Jail for a reported assault against a Mendocino County Corrections Deputy by a housed inmate inside the Mendocino County Jail.

The inmate, Shane Miller, was reported to have struck the Corrections Deputy multiple times causing visible injuries to the Deputy.  Miller became violent following his refusal to follow the Deputy's verbal commands.

Miller continued to actively assault the Corrections Deputy until the Deputy was able to deploy their OC canister ending the assault.  Miller was secured in his housing cell following the assistance from another MCSO Corrections Deputy.

The Patrol Deputy was able to review surveillance footage documenting the incident and based on his investigation, Miller was charged with battery of a custodial officer (243(c)(1) PC).

Miller is currently being held on separate active cases but was also to be held in lieu of $15,000.00 bail for this additional charge.
