posted March 25, 2009
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday arrested the former Bradley County delinquent tax attorney and his secretary after they were indicted by the Bradley County Grand Jury this morning. Miller is also a former state senator.
Attorney Jeff Miller, 46, was indicted on one count of official misconduct, one count of conspiracy to commit official misconduct and one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated perjury.
April Miles, 28, was charged with one count of aggravated perjury, one count of conspiracy to commit official misconduct and one count of conspiracy to commit aggravated perjury.
The TBI opened the investigation at the request of the district attorney general on Jan. 25 after there were allegations that Miller was overbilling the county while he served in the appointed position of delinquent tax attorney for Bradley County. When Miller was removed from office, he was ordered to turn over title search records. He did not have the records that showed he performed the required title searches even though he received payment for these searches.
