A series of violent events culminated on Thursday with the arrest of a 32-year-old woman, Terricca T. Miller, after a police pursuit that spanned over a week and included several shootings and an assault in north county, as reported by local authorities and covered by multiple news outlets.
The North County Police Cooperative detailed that the series of incidents started with Miller knocking on the door of a residence in the Velda Village Hills neighborhood armed with a gun on Nov. 20, as captured by a doorbell camera; when there was no response, Miller fired the weapon into the air and into the house, shattering a front door's glass and damaging a nearby vehicle, Fox2Now reports, the spate of violence then escalated eight days later on Nov. 28 with Miller involved in a shooting near Rosewood and Peyton Lane in Pine Lawn, and another incident occurred where she was caught on surveillance footage assaulting a gas station attendant after failing to retrieve a stolen AR-15, according to a First Alert 4 article.
Following these assaults, a high-speed chase ensued when the blue truck Miller was driving which police had linked to the earlier shootings, was sighted; Miller led the authorities on a 45-minute chase reaching over 100 mph narrowly missing other vehicles and a Metro bus as "charges say," further recorded in a statement by North County Police Cooperative spokesman Cpl. Benjamin Santoyo, with additional charges pending, according to St. Louis Today.
Miller is currently facing charges including three counts of unlawful use of a weapon, fourth-degree assault, and aggravated fleeing a stop, and her bond has been set at $200,000 by the St. Louis County Prosecutor's Office; the handgun used at the gas station altercation was found in her purse after the vehicle she was in stalled and authorities took her into custody, First Alert 4 reports.
