Police Locate Stolen Vehicle and More NEW CANEY, August 11, 2010 - On August 3, after receiving information that a stolen vehicle was in the area of the Silver Trails Subdivision in New Caney, multiple deputies checked the area and found a maroon SUV at the intersection of Leonard and Penny that matched the description, a check of the license plate confirmed it was a stolen vehicle.

Several deputies tried to stop the vehicle as it entered the ballpark at Leonard and Penny, but the vehicle quickly diverted through the yard of a residence, running over and breaking support cables to the light poles at the intersection.

Deputy J. Chapa traveled southbound on Penny, with emergency lights activated, but the vehicle met and went past his patrol car at a high rate of speed, at which point Deputy Chapa initiated a pursuit.

The suspect vehicle turned east on McCleskey Road and again drove through the yard of a residence where it crashed through a wooden fence, then continued until striking a tree on another private property.

The driver, later identified as 31-year-old Justin Lynn Miller, of Cleveland, then left the vehicle and fled on foot. Other deputies assisted in the foot pursuit and Miller was eventually captured, and even then, he resisted arrest.

Inside the vehicle, deputies found methamphetamine (5.1 grams) and marijuana (.25 ounces) inside the vehicle, along with assorted paraphernalia.

Miller is charged with evading in a vehicle (state jail felony); possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver (first degree felony); unauthorized use of a motor vehicle (state jail felony); criminal mischief (state jail felony) and bond forfeiture.
