A pre-preliminary hearing has been continued again for a Carney man who was arrested following a pursuit and charged with two felonies.
Formal charges of endangering others while eluding/ attempting to elude a police officer and driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol were filed in Lincoln County District Court on Jan. 9 against Campbell McKenna Miller, 19.
He appeared before Associate District Judge Sheila Kirk earlier this month and she set his bond at $6,000. He made his initial appearance on Jan. 19 before Special Judge Emily Mueller.
She scheduled his pre-preliminary hearing for April 20.
Judge Mueller continued that hearing until Sep. 21. She has now scheduled it for 1:30 p.m. Dec. 21.
In Count 1, Miller is accused on Jan. 1 of this year of attempting to elude Deputy Sheriff Kevin Roe with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office by increasing the speed of the vehicle he was driving in disregard of emergency lights and siren which endangered some person beside himself.
Count 2 charges him with driving while under the influence of alcohol.
Supplemental information filed by the district attorney shows Miller was convicted on Sep. 2, 2022 in Lincoln County District Court of Aggravated DUI.
In a probable cause affidavit, Deputy Roe states he responded to the area of 870 Road and 3470 Road in an attempt to locate a suspect pursuit vehicle that had been pursued by Cushing Police who had lost sight of the vehicle around 800 Road and 3500 Road.
