The following is a press release from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
In May 2024, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office became aware of a report of sexual misconduct committed by a former Sheriff’s Office Correctional Deputy. The sexual misconduct was alleged to have occurred with a female inmate at the Lake County Correctional Facility in 2022. Detectives with the Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit immediately initiated a criminal investigation and notified the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training as required by law.
Detectives identified the former Correctional Deputy as Anthony Orion Miller, 37, of Marysville. Miller was employed by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office from November of 2021 until July of 2022 when he resigned to seek employment elsewhere. During Miller’s employment there were no reports of misconduct and the Sheriff’s Office was not aware of any misconduct prior to the victim coming forward in May 2024. During the investigation, Detectives determined Miller was still employed as a Correctional Officer in another jurisdiction in California. Miller’s employer was notified of the criminal investigation and he is no longer employed at that agency.
During the investigation, Detectives interviewed the victim, witnesses, and Miller. Based on the evidence, it was determined Miller engaged in sexual acts with the victim while she was incarcerated at the Lake County Correctional Facility in June of 2022.
On August 28th, 2024, Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Miller for the charge of 289.6 (A)(2) PC. On September 4, 2024, Miller voluntarily surrendered and was taken into custody in Yuba County. He was transported to the Yuba County Jail for booking, with a bail of $10,000.
“Misconduct of any kind, especially that of a sexual nature, has no place in the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and Hill Road Correctional Facility, and it will not be tolerated in any form. The safety and welfare of staff and the individuals under our care is of the utmost importance.” – Sheriff Howe.
