Arrest warrant issued for Borris "Shooter" Miles
KPRC-2 reports that an arrest warrant has been issued for outgoing state Rep. Borris Miles:
An arrest warrant was issued on Monday for state Rep. Borris Miles, accused of deadly conduct, KPRC Local 2 reported.
A Harris County assistant district attorney said that Miles was indicted in connection with two incidents in December where Miles was accused of pulling out a gun in a threatening manner.
A Houston woman and her husband filed suit against Miles earlier this year, asking that he be tested for sexually transmitted diseases and claiming he forced a kiss on the woman at a holiday party.The Harris County District Attorney's Office investigated the complaint that Miles entered a St. Regis Hotel ballroom uninvited, confronting guests, displaying a pistol and forcibly kissing the woman.
He is also accused of pulling a gun on a TSU regent's wife at a Rockets game at the Toyota Center the same night.
He was indicted on two counts of deadly conduct, a Class A misdemeanor, officials said.
If convicted, Miles, 42, faces up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
The dwindling number of Borris Miles supporters are going to have a hard time spinning the man's buffoonery as merely unsubstantiated accusations by personal enemies or a frivolous partisan vendetta on the part of Chuck Rosenthal. Like anyone who stands accused of criminal behavior, Borris Miles certainly is entitled to his day in court, and perhaps he'll even prove his innocence. And in all honesty, we can't wait to hear more about what sounds like one wild night in the life of Borris "Shooter" Miles!
