One of Nashville’s freshly named “Most Wanted” fugitives did not stay on the list for long.
Police say Demondrea M. Miller, who had just appeared on the Metro Nashville Police Department’s weekly Most Wanted roster, was taken into custody on April 5. The update was shared the next day on the Criminal Warrants Division’s social feed, signaling a quick turnaround from featured fugitive to jailed suspect.
What the Police Say Miller Is Accused Of
According to the MNPD Criminal Warrants Division, Miller was apprehended on April 5 and is wanted on grand-jury indictments that include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault involving strangulation, domestic assault causing fear of bodily injury, interference with an emergency call, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm while having a domestic-violence conviction. Police did not immediately release details about where the arrest took place or whether anyone else was detained.
What Those Charges Mean In Court
The listed counts are grand-jury indictments, which are formal allegations that move a case into the prosecutors’ hands. From there, the cases will be handled through Metro Court, where arraignment and bond review typically follow the initial booking process. Court filings and dockets in these matters are public records, and the District Attorney’s Office will determine how the cases move forward, according to the Circuit Court Clerk’s office.
As always, defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
How Nashville’s Most Wanted Program Fits In
MNPD’s weekly Most Wanted posts are part of a Criminal Warrants Division effort that officials say has helped generate tips and led to dozens of arrests and voluntary surrenders since the program launched in 2022, as reported in Nashville cops drop new Most Wanted list. The social push routinely sparks leads that help track down suspects, sometimes outside Davidson County, and the warrants office continues to caution residents not to approach anyone featured on the list.
Anyone with information about Miller or others highlighted in the program is asked to contact the Metro Nashville Police Department at 615-862-8600 or Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463, according to the MNPD Warrants Division. Tipsters who call Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward, police say.
