[NARRATIVE #1 on March 10, 2025]

On March 10, 2025, at 1851 hours, I was dispatched to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Winder, GA, 30680 in reference to a dispute call. I responded Code 1 (Non-Emergency) to the scene. The caller [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised 911 dispatch that the father of her children (Robert Miller) had changed the locks on their home and she and the kids were locked out. Once on the scene, I met with [REDACTED BY AGENCY] the victim/complainant for this call. She stated that she was able to get into the house from the backdoor last night but when she arrived today her house key was not working for the front door or the back door. Mr. Miller was not at the scene upon my arrival. I asked if she knew where Mr. Miller was, and she stated no. However, [REDACTED BY AGENCY] did advise me that Mr. Miller was driving a Nissan Sentra (GA Tag# [REDACTED]).

Based on previous calls, I was able to confirm that this Nissan Sentra was the primary vehicle that Mr. Miller was driving. I can attest that the vehicle was in his possession since February 24, 2025 (Case reference 2025-00008127). [REDACTED BY AGENCY] also advised that he was working at a warehouse that was possibly on 316 Hwy. I also asked her if she had contacted Mr. Miller prior to calling us and she advised no. I asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to call Mr. Miller first to see if he could help her get inside the home. She attempted to call Mr. Miller twice in consecutive order but received no answer. I then went to my patrol vehicle and tried to contact Mr. Miller on my cell phone. I called three times consecutively with no answer. I also advised dispatch to attempt to call Mr. Miller and they were unable to make contact.

I aske [REDACTED BY AGENCY] if she had a garage opener in her vehicle and she advised she was unable to unlock the garages. I observed a keypad on the door and asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] if she had the PIN code to open the door. She advised that Mr. Miller had changed the code and had not provided the PIN to her. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised that Robert changed the locks on both doors at the residence. She advised yesterday evening that she was unable to open the front door but was able to gain access inside using the back door entrance that connects to the basement. I visually observed that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was unable to open the front door using her house key. Then I followed her to the backyard to see if she could access the back door as she did yesterday. Note: The backyard was fenced in with two access points, a gate directly in the front yard and a back gate towards the end of the lot. I was advised by [REDACTED BY AGENCY] that Mr. Miller put a lock on the front gate near the front yard, so we were forced to walk towards the back lot on a dangerous ledge in order to gain access inside the fence.

I observed that the ledge was slick and steep and as I followed behind [REDACTED BY AGENCY] I had to squeeze through a tight fit between the fence and a tree while holding onto the top of the fence to keep from slipping and falling down the ledge. When we were able to get inside the fence I did observe that the front gate was secured with a lock. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised that she was not given a key to release the lock. We made our way to the back door and Ms. [REDACTED] attempted to unlock the back door using the same house key. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was able to unlock the bottom lock for the back door with her house key but could not unlock the deadbolt for the top lock. I also observed that the bottom lock and top lock were distinctively different. The bottom was silver in cooler and the top lock was matte black which was similar in appearance to the front door’s lock. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] reiterated to me that the locks were changed. She also advised that he changed the alarm system and Ring camera information, so she was unable to access the content to review video camera footage to determine what happened with the locks.

After multiple attempts to call Mr. Miller, I received a call from Mr. Miller at approximately 1954 hours on my cellphone. Initially when I explained to Mr. Miller who I was and why I called. He put me on hold and hung up. I was able to call him back and get an answer from him. I advised that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and their children were locked out of the house. Mr. Miller stated that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was able to get in the house last night without a problem and he stated he was unsure why she couldn’t get in. I explained to Mr. Miller that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] tried unlocking both doors and was unable to gain access. I asked him directly if he changed the locks and he denied any involvement. He also claimed that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was lying as she was able to get inside the house the night before. I explained to Mr. Robert that I observed [REDACTED BY AGENCY] attempt to open both doors with the key she had, but she was only able to unlock the bottom lock on the back door. I also informed him that I observed that the locks she could not open were distinctly different from the one lock her key did unlock. He reiterated that the locks were not changed and that the officer from last night could confirm his statement.

Mr. Miller claimed that Ofc. Melnicuic did investigate the locks the night prior because he observed the officer going inside the home and walking out the front door via video cameras that were installed in the home. Mr. Miller claimed he would send me a video, but I advised him I did not receive the video. I provided a phone number and an email, but no footage was provided. Mr. Miller stated that he requested the officers on the scene to leave call notes about the incident. I was able to make contact with Ofc. Melnicuic, and he advised that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] did gain access through the back door the night prior, but he did not investigate the locks for any distinct differences.

Ofc. Melnicuic attested that he was unfamiliar with the couple, and he was unaware of the history of calls. He advised once [REDACTED BY AGENCY] got inside, he went back into service. He also advised that Mr. Miller attempted to call him that night, but he advised Mr. Miller he no longer needed to talk to him as [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and the children were safely inside the home. Mr. Miller also claimed that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] changed the locks and stated that he had pictures to show me. Mr. Miller sent a picture of a white door that was missing a doorknob. I asked Mr. Miller if that was one of the exterior doors and he claimed that it was not but a random inside the home. He claimed that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was the culprit for the changed locks because she removed the doorknobs from the door in the picture he provided. I asked if there were any pictures or evidence that she changed the exterior doors, and he did not provide any proof for his claim. I advised Mr. Miller that a missing doorknob inside the residence is not denying access to the house. He stated that she had changed the locks before and locked him out of the house: however, Mr. Miller stated he chose not to call 911 for assistance. I was not able to receive any proof from Mr. Miller that he was unable to get into the house at any point in time.

Around this point, approximately two hours had passed, and no one had come to let [REDACTED BY AGENCY] inside the residence. Dispatch received contact from [REDACTED BY AGENCY] claiming that the father-in-law got in touch with Mr. Miller to get a house key. I contacted Mr. Miller, and he advised that he did get in contact with his father but stated his father was going to work and wasn’t bringing the key. I asked Mr. Miller if there was anybody else that could come unlock the door and he stated no. I advised Mr. Miller again that my main concern was that [REDACTED BY AGENCY], and the children, were locked out of their home with no way to get inside. I asked him if he could be enroute to unlock the door. He advised that he was in a work truck and could not come back home. I asked if there was someone else who could get his key and open the house. He stated that he would make phone calls but gave me no definitive answer. Mr. Miller became argumentative over the phone and advised that I was playing games with him. I advised Mr. Miller again all I wanted was for [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and the kids to get inside the home. His immediate response was that he wanted the case number for the 911 call. I advised Mr. Miller that I would provide him with the case number, but I still needed him to find someone to let [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and the kids in the home. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] provided a written statement while I was at the scene. As she was writing her statement, Mr. Miller requested me to call him via 911 dispatch. I advised 911 dispatch that I would call Mr. Miller shortly.

I went back to my patrol car and checked the Flock Safety Camera to see if the personal vehicle that Mr. Miller was driving appeared on any cameras within the hour. At 2108 hours, The Nissan Sentra was captured driving towards Dacula at Camera #35 (Hwy 29 @ Hwy 316 TWD Dacula). I did contact Mr. Miller back, and he advised that he was calling because he wanted the report number for the second 911 call. I apologized for the delay but advised I was busy trying to find shelter for [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and the children. Mr. Miller stated that an unnamed babysitter could be enroute to unlock the door. However, he advised that before he would contact her to come there, he wanted to make sure that I did not involve her in the 911 call. I explained to Mr. Miller again that my main concern was that someone would come to the house to let [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and the children inside.

Mr. Miller stated that he was skeptical about sending someone to the house because he did not want them involved in the 911 call. I told Mr. Miller I would not involve the person, who opened the door, in my investigation; but I would have to record the person on body camera opening the door to ensure that the victim and her children could get inside the house. Mr. Miller stated he was going to tell the person coming with the key to not speak to me or anyone else at the scene as that was the only way he felt comfortable letting the person come open the door. I told him that was fine, I just needed someone to open the door. He stated that he didn’t want the person to be investigated, he also stated that the key the person had; he wanted to ensure that I did not confiscate the key to use it for my investigation. I agreed with his terms as it was the only way he stated he felt comfortable allowing someone to open the door for [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and the children.

I pulled into the cul-de-sac near [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and observed a black female subject walking from the area of [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and she was heading directly for [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. I asked the female subject if she was coming to unlock the door, and she stated yes. I followed the female to the front porch. I advised [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to remain in her vehicle as I escorted the unidentified female to the front door. I observed her open the front door with a house key and make entry inside at approximately 2206 hours. As was going back into service, I received a call from Mr. Miller, and he advised me that he had not paid the utility bill, and the utilities were possibly turned off; just in case I was called back to the residence. I advised him that I would document the statement. He advised that he did change the account information for the thermostat and alarm system. He made it clear that Ms. [REDACTED] did not have access to either system when he changed the account information. He advised that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] may call and complain again.

I also informed Mr. Miller that if he did have any issues when he returned home to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] he needed to call 911 so we could assist him with any issue that occurred. My Watch Guard body-worn camera was worn and activated. I provided [REDACTED BY AGENCY] with a business card containing our agency phone number and a case number to call to report additional information about the case and to receive information about the case. The witness statement provided by [REDACTED BY AGENCY] will be attached to this case file. I was advised that the couple was not married but shared two biological children and had been in a relationship for at least 10 years. I did confirm that both parents and children lived together at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] when these disputes occurred.

Dating back from November 17, 2024, to March 10, 2025, law enforcement has been called to [REDACTED BY AGENCY] involving a dispute between Robert Miller and [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. The total calls of services are currently 10 and counting. Both subjects were advised to remain civil and not to intentionally harass, annoy, or deprive each other of shared property at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] Every call has been in reference to Robert Miller depriving [REDACTED BY AGENCY] of access to the property they shared including an alarm system and digital thermostat for A/C. Most recently, the locks were changed and [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised that she was not provided a new key to gain entry inside the home.

The two also had disputes over custody of their children. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised that Mr. Miller’s actions have caused a hostile environment due to his malicious behavior. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] has voiced her concern about the lack of peace in the household; and the safety and well-being of their children and herself due to Mr. Miller’s conduct at [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. Based on the history of the dispute calls at this location, the issue has involved Mr. Miller changing or removing shared property inside the house whether it was the digital thermostat, alarm system, and now a complaint about changed locks. Based on the evidence at the scene and the statements provided by both subjects, I found that Mr. Miller was the main aggressor during the disputes.

I procured an arrest warrant against Mr. Robert James Gregory Miller for the following:

1. Criminal Trespass-Family Violence #2025-07830MW
2. Disorderly House #2025-0781MW

[NARRATIVE #2 on March 11, 2025]

On March 11, 2025, at 1819 hours, I was dispatched to [REDACTED BY AGENCY], Winder, GA, 30680 in reference to a meet in person call. The caller advised that he wanted to be connected to a shift supervisor in order to handle the call. Cpl. Cureington and I responded Code 1 (Non-Emergency) to the scene. The caller, who was identified as Mr. Robert Miller, advised 911 dispatch that the locks on his home at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] were changed and he was not able to get in. As we were enroute the caller contacted 911 dispatch that he wanted a supervisor to call his phone and handle the situation through a phone call. 911 dispatch asked the caller to elaborate why he wanted a supervisor to call him, but he would not elaborate. He later advised 911 dispatch not to have us enroute to the residence because he did not want to waste resources. However, patrol units were arrived at the scene to ensure that the caller was not locked out of the house.

Upon my arrival, I made contact with [REDACTED BY AGENCY] at the front door. I asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] if Robert was inside the home, and she stated no. I had advised her that Mr. Miller notified law enforcement that he was unable to get into the house. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised that she had been home since last night, and Robert had not shown up at the residence since. She reiterated that she had remained in the house all day, and Robert had not come to the house prior to this call for service. While at the scene, she advised that she kept her phone readily available to answer at any time. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised even if she left the house she would have driven back home to let Mr. Miller in if he called her and stated he couldn’t get in the house. I observed the lock on the front door and did notice that a different lock was installed compared to the lock from the day prior (Case Reference Number# 2025-00010398) [REDACTED BY AGENCY] advised that she did change the lock on the front door, but I was informed that it was the original lock that both she and Mr. Robert had access to. I did survey the lock on the back door as well and that the lock had not been changed and were the same locks I observed the day before. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] said that she did not touch the back door at all but only installed the original house lock for the front door to ensure she was able to get back in if she decided to leave the residence at any time.

I asked [REDACTED BY AGENCY] what she did with the other lock from yesterday and she retrieved the door lock from upstairs. She stored the door lock in a plastic bag and brought it downstairs to me for observation. I did confirm that the door lock in the plastic bag was the same lock from the day before. I made sure that the lock was not damaged or manipulated in any way. I did not observe any discrepancies. I advised [REDACTED BY AGENCY] that the lock she changed on the front door still needs to be accessible to Mr. Miller. She reiterated that the lock she installed was the original lock that he should still have the key to open. [REDACTED BY AGENCY] also advised that Mr. Miller had a security app on his phone that controlled the garage doors that only he was able to access at the time of this call for service as he did not provide her access to the account system that operates it. She also advised that the original alarm system monitor for the house was no longer installed on the wall. This confirms the statement that Mr. Miller made to me advising that he did change the alarm system in the house. I advised [REDACTED BY AGENCY] to ensure a spare key was available to Mr. Miller just in case he no longer had the original key in his possession. She ensured that a spare key would be available to Mr. Miller.

Cpl. Cureington arrived at the scene to assist and made contact with Mr. Miller via cellphone. He advised that he was contacting the supervisor in reference to calls of service at this location. He advised in reference to Case #2025-00010398 that he left a key with the neighbor for emergencies just in case someone needed to get into the house. Which seemed odd as he had not contacted that neighbor until [REDACTED BY AGENCY] last night after I explained to Mr. Miller that I needed someone to let [REDACTED BY AGENCY] and their children into the house yesterday at 1954 hours; almost two hours prior. Continuing on, Mr. Miller requested a case number for today’s call for service in reference to his complaint that he was not able to get into the house today when he came home from work. He stated that when he arrived at the house, he was unable to get inside because the door lock had been changed. Mr. Miller informed Cpl. Cureington that he was forced to sit outside and fell asleep near the cul-de-sac by [REDACTED BY AGENCY]. He told Cpl. Cureington that a male neighbor came out to where he was sleeping and asked Mr. Miller why he was sleeping outside. Mr. Miller stated that the male neighbor asked if he needed to come into the neighbor’s house for the night, but Mr. Miller declined the neighbor’s gesture.

Note: Later into the conversation, Mr. Miller advised CpL. Cureington that he was on the phone with his sister while he was outside in the cul-de-sac sleeping in his car. Mr. Miller told Cpl. Cureington that his sister, who was on the phone while he was sleeping, woke Robert out of his sleep claiming she heard someone knocking on his window. Mr. Miller referred to the neighbor as a “Ms. [REDACTED]” subject. Mr. Miller continued to refer to the neighbor as a female instead of a male as he previously stated in the beginning of the conversation with Cpl. Cureington. He stated that Ms. [REDACTED] asked him why he was sleeping outside and offered him to come into her house. Mr. Miller again stated that he declined the offer and told the now female neighbor that he had to go back to work soon. Mr. Miller claimed that the neighbor asked why [REDACTED BY AGENCY] locked him out the house, and Mr. Miller claimed his reply to the neighbor was, “I’m not sure, she [REDACTED BY AGENCY] feels like I locked her out the house.” Cpl. Cureington asked if Mr. Miller was nearby so that he could make sure the caller was able to gain access into the home however, Mr. Miller was not in the city of Winder at the time of the call for service.

Cpl. Cureington asked verbatim was Mr. Miller just trying to get into the house. Mr. Miller responded yes. Mr. Miller’s next response was that he didn’t want to fight with anybody, and he wanted to maintain his peace of mind. Cpl. Cureington advised him that law enforcement could conduct an escort on his behalf whenever he came back to the [REDACTED BY AGENCY] residence to ensure that he could get into the house. Furthermore, while talking to CpL. Cureington, he complained that every time [REDACTED BY AGENCY] contacts the police for assistance, she’s always involving their children in their dispute. Note: When I was talking to Mr. Miller he complained that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] used the kids in order to influence law enforcement decisions on calls for sympathy. He claimed that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was attempting to make it seem as if he was mistreating her and the children because he disabled [REDACTED BY AGENCY] ability to control the digital thermostat for the A/C when he is not at home.

Furthermore, when Mr. Miller addressed the topic about the thermostat control with Cpl. Cureington; he made the comment to Cpl. Cureington inferring that [REDACTED BY AGENCY] was at fault for having the kids at the house and complaining that the house is cold when she knew that he was not allowing her to access the thermostat controls. Cpl. Cureington redirected the conversation back to Mr. Miller’s claim that he was unable to get inside the house. Cpl. Cureington advised Mr. Miller that the locks were still on the house. Mr. Miller claimed that that the lock on the front door was changed. This comment resonated that Mr. Miller knew that the matte black locks from yesterday were new locks and the original lock that both parties had access to. Although he claimed that no locks were changed last night.

I conducted a global wide search on the FLOCK Safety Camera system for the Nissan Sentra (GA Tag# [REDACTED]) that Mr. Miller drove. Cpl. Cureington asked Mr. Miller if he was nearby while officers were at the residence of [REDACTED BY AGENCY], but Mr. Miller was not in the city of Winder at the time of the call for service. Furthermore, Mr. Miller did not provide a specific time for his arrival at [REDACTED BY AGENCY] but I utilized the Flock safety cameras to locate the movement of the Nissan Sentra (GA Tag#[REDACTED]) that Mr. Miller was driving. The Nissan Sentra appeared on Flock March 10, 2025, at 9:08 PM until March 11, 2025, at 3:23 PM the following day. This camera review inquiry was conducted around 6:19 PM when the initial call for service was dispatched to the Winder Police Department. The vehicle appeared on camera eleven times between the provided timelines.
