A pre-preliminary hearing has been continued for a Lincoln County Jail inmate who was charged last November with incitement to riot.

David Keith Miller, about 31, was formally charged Nov. 13, 2023 in Lincoln County District Court with incitement to riot, a felony, and attemptmalicious injury to property under $1,000, a misdemeanor.

He made his initial appearance on Nov. 13 before Associate District Judge Sheila Kirk. She set his bond at $7,500.

His pre-preliminary hearing has been scheduled now for April 18.

Miller, who has been previously convicted of at least five felonies, was charged in connection with a riot at the jail.

Count 1 accuses Miller on Nov. 2 of attempted incite to riot at the Lincoln County Jail by making threats and encouraging other inmates, with the intent to cause or assist the initiation of a riot, to destroy property and/or commit acts of violence and his conduct created a clear and present danger of imminent unlawful action.
