A man wanted in South Carolina made headlines after a dramatic arrest that involved him pulling out a gun and biting a police officer. Marty Benjamin Miller, who had 16 active warrants, was spotted by an officer in the Nicholtown community in Greenville, South Carolina, on Friday night.
When the officer tried to apprehend Miller at a home on McCullough Street, he refused to comply and attempted to flee in his vehicle. Another officer arrived to assist, but Miller continued to resist arrest. In the struggle, he pulled out a gun, but the officers were able to disarm him. However, Miller managed to inflict a severe bite on one of the officers before a K9 officer was deployed to assist in the arrest.
Miller was eventually taken into custody and received medical treatment at the hospital. His bond was set at $20,000. The officers involved in the incident were also taken to the hospital for treatment.
Miller was wanted for various offenses, including shoplifting, failure to stop for police, and texting while driving. In addition to those charges, he is now facing additional charges related to the incident, including resisting arrest with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a violent felon, and interfering with law enforcement officers.
This intense arrest serves as a reminder of the dangers law enforcement officers face in the line of duty and the risks involved in apprehending wanted individuals.
