Police in Duluth have apprehended 43-year-old Justin Miller following a drive-by shooting incident on Oakley Street. Miller, a Duluth resident, is facing charges including Felony Drive-By-Shooting and an Order for Protection (OFP) Violation. As per the official report, the shooting took place on Sunday, September 22, and while the residence had people inside at the time, thankfully, nobody was injured.

The circumstances suggest that the suspect knew the occupants of the property—details that will likely add complexity to the unfolding judicial process. Moreover, during his lodging at the St. Louis County Jail, officers found and confiscated a small amount of methamphetamine on Miller. This discovery led to an additional charge: Smuggling Contraband into Prison. The Duluth Police Department was quick to act, diligently working to swiftly arrest and charge the suspect.

While the details surrounding the motive and the exact sequence of events remain to be unfolded, it's clear that the Duluth Police Department's efforts have taken a potentially dangerous individual off the streets. The authorities are yet to release more information on the altercation that preceded Miller's arrest. As it stands, Miller remains in custody at the St. Louis County Jail, awaiting further legal proceedings.
