Man Who Led Police On I-75 Chase Is Captured In Hixson After He Collides With Marshals And Shots Are Fired

  • Saturday, August 6, 2016

A man who was added to the TBI’s “Top 10 Most Wanted” list earlier this week, James Bryan Miller, was taken into custody Saturday night after colliding with law enforcement vehicles.

Members of the U.S. Marshals Task Force located Miller at the Ellie Plaza Apartment Complex in Hixson.

Marshals attempted to block Miller in to prevent him from fleeing. As Miller tried to leave the complex, he collided with a marshal’s vehicle and continued his attempt to flee. At some point during the collision, shots were fired by a member or members of the Marshals Task Force. When Miller’s vehicle eventually stopped, he was taken into custody. The shooting incident remains under investigation by the TBI.

Miller, 30, was wanted by the TBI and the Chattanooga Police Department to face charges including aggravated assault against police and reckless endangerment in connection to an extended vehicle chase on Monday. Miller was added to the TBI’s Top 10 list on Wednesday.

Following the collision, Miller was transported to a local hospital for evaluation. Neither he nor any of the officers sustained serious injuries.
