Description:
On July 18, 2022, law enforcement officials conducted surveillance of the blue collection box located in front of the Westside Post Office located at 11415 Huron Lane, Little Rock, Arkansas. In the early morning hours, two individuals, later identified as Kobe Powell and Miller, arrived at the Westside Post Office in a black Ford Crown Victoria. Law enforcement observed Powell open the postal collection box. Law enforcement officers attempted to make contact, however Powell and Miller fled in the vehicle at a high rate of speed and eventually crashed into a residence. After the crash, Powell and Miller fled from the vehicle and were arrested by law enforcement. After Miller was arrested, a Glock firearm was found in his possession. Powell, who was not found to be in possession of a firearm, was sentenced to 20 months’ imprisonment on September 20, 2023, for possessing stolen mail and a counterfeit check.
A two-count Superseding Information was filed on September 21, 2023, charging Miller with possession of stolen mail and being a felon in possession of a firearm. On that same day, Miller pleaded guilty to the charges in the Superseding Information. Judge Moody also ordered Miller to pay $1,650.00 in restitution. The maximum sentence faced by the defendant for possession of stolen mail was five years and for being a felon in possession of a firearm, it was 15 years. The defendant also faced a maximum fine of $250,000.
The case was investigated by the United States Postal Inspection Service, United States Secret Service, Little Rock Police Department, and Arkansas State Police.
