In 1997, Miller was arrested for public indecency at a nightclub in Cleveland, where he covered that year's American League Championship Series. Police confiscated what was described as "drug paraphernalia" and said Miller was seen urinating out of an upstairs window. According to the book "Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN" Miller says he was urinating in a bottle, when he accidentally urinated on an off-duty police officer. He was fined and sentenced to community service.
