Newlon said police arrived at the Cobblestone Hotel about 12:30a Monday.
“Miller apparently saw us pulling in and slipped upstairs,” said Newlon. “We located him upstairs and arrested him.”
Newlon said his sister was spotted coming out of a room at which time police discovered items that could be used to make Meth and other drugs.
