Attempted homicide suspect and assault suspect out on bail arrested for grand theft and several new charges yesterday by HCSO. Press release issued this afternoon has details. I had last reported on Miller in March but have posted about him since 2020.
HCSO Press Release:
On 10/26/2023, at about 8:45 pm, Humboldt County Sheriff’s Deputies were on patrol in the area of the US Highway 101 and Highway 36 interchange. A Toyota truck, known to the Deputies to have been used in the commission of a recent burglary and vehicle theft, was observed traveling northbound on Sandy Prairie Road, Alton.
The Deputies attempted a traffic enforcement stop and the truck fled, prompting a short pursuit. The pursuit was discontinued when the truck began traveling on US Hwy 101, southbound in the northbound travel lanes. The truck proceeded at a slow rate of speed to the area of US Hwy 101 and Metropolitan Road when the truck experienced mechanical failure and came to a stop. HCSO Deputies, assisted by Fortuna Police and Rio Dell Police Officers, established a traffic closure on the highway and deployed spike strips to further contain the truck.
The driver of the truck, identified as 34-year-old Clayton Miller of Fortuna, was uncooperative with Deputies/ Officers and a K9 unit was deployed during his apprehension. Miller was medically cleared at Redwood Memorial Hospital prior to being booked at the Humboldt County Correctional Facility for the following violations:

Miller was out of custody on bail from a March arrest for a violation of PC 664/187 – Attempted Homicide, PC 246 – Shooting at an Inhabited Dwelling, PC 245(a)(2) – Assault with a Firearm, among other charges.
