He was arrested at the time and released on a $26,000 bond.  

With aid from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, GCSO continued investigating and executed a search warrant for Miller’s residence. Law enforcement reported gathering more evidence of voyeurism and child sexual abuse material.  

After collaborating with FDLE, detectives obtained an arrest warrant, leading to Miller’s re-arrest on Wednesday.  

“The Gilchrist County Sheriff’s Office expresses its gratitude to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement-Gainesville Field Office, and the Dixie County Sheriff’s Office for their assistance throughout this investigation,” a press release stated.
