Overview
- On Tuesday, Oct. 6, court records show Miller entered a not‑guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge for failing to stay in the right half of the roadway and he waived a formal arraignment.
- The charge traces to a June head‑on crash in Missouri that left Miller severely injured and required a life‑saving amputation of his left arm, and leaked dash‑cam video appears to show his SUV crossing the center line before impact.
- Miller’s next court date is a pre‑trial conference on Dec. 8, and the misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of a $2,000 fine and up to one year in jail.
- Separate from the traffic case, the Missouri attorney general opened an investigation after dozens of fantasy‑league participants alleged unpaid prizes and unfulfilled charity promises, and Miller’s family GoFundMe was paused amid those complaints.
- ESPN has said Miller stepped away from on‑air duties and has been placed on leave, leaving his job status and fundraising recovery dependent on the outcomes of the criminal case and the state probe.
