Councilman arrested for domestic violence
Contributed by: Nancy Pfaff on 3/28/2008

Within week's of taking office in January 2006 as city council member for ward I, James Miller was arrested for harassment, second degree criminal tampering and domestic violence, egging a car and sending threatening text messages to his ex-girlfriend. June 5th 2006, James Miller chose to plead guilty in order to protect his daughter and not for his own action's.

After Councilman James Miller pleaded guilty, Mayor Novak and four other council members and concerned residents called for James Miller resignation, and he refused. James Miller is a board member for the Victim Assistance And Law Enforcement Board (VALE) and a former Northglenn Police Officer.

Nancy, I have to wonder what political ploy or what rock you had been living under for the last two years to not know of the arrest. To bring it up now? I have to wonder where your convictions are. You mention in other postings that I paid 518.00 in restitution. You fail to state what it was for. You must know that I did not damage any property. I paid to have her doors replaced because she had fears that people that she overseas at her work would now know where she lived due to all the newspaper stories. I have accepted responsibility for my mistakes in this matter but shame on you for re-exposing her and her children again in this manner.

Your posting speaks loudly about personal character. Unfortunately the character to which it speaks most is yours. Why after two years would you be bringing this up again? Everyone in Northglenn including Jim knows he made a mistake. Are you the self appointed morality police for Northglenn or are your motives more selfish and sinister? “Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone” (John 8:2-11)

Before you crucify any citizen of this city, you should have the decency to read the Court Records instead of listening to gossip and reading inacurate newspaper articles.
