DENVER (CBS4) - There is more legal trouble for Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller.


CBS4 has learned that Miller was cited for driving with a suspended or revoked license. He was pulled over for speeding in Arapahoe County last week.

Miller was released to the custody of his father who was with him when he was stopped.

Getting pretty hard to use the "it's just a traffic ticket" defense. DUS is a Class 1 misdemeanor first time around here. Not sure about Colorado.

The more disturbing part is that he was with his father and his father allowed him to drive. Good parenting.

I don't think he's a trouble maker or has bad character. I think he may just be an idiot. He's not doing things that would hurt others. He hasn't done anything major. He's done a lot of small, stupid things that are adding up.

People do this everyday. Drive without a license. Drive without insurance. Little stuff like that. My parents never let me drive a vehicle without either. I'm thinking his parents may not have taught him well.

Well, if he fails another drug test he's banned for a year. If he's caught driving again he's committed a felony.

Not "little" anymore.

That's why I said "adding up". By themselves, it's not major. Like the Suh fine. He didn't get fined 100k because of that single hit. I believe he got fined 100k because he did it again.

It is certainly looking like he is an idiot.

Even if his parents didn't teach him anything, it is in the drivers manual that you have to have insurance and proof in the vehicle and you have to show it before your driving test. He's been through this if he has a license which it sounds like he did, up until it got suspended and for what?

Von Miller acts like rules don't apply to Von. That's a slippery slope to navigate, in the NFL and in life.

He has his well documented issues, was known as immature at A&M, recently bought a gun, continues to get in legal trouble (granted it is minor), is a minor slip from a year suspension. I said this in another thread. The broncos would be wise to shut him down for the year and protect their investment. Pay him. Get his mind right and take care of him.

I wouldn't hate just yet until we know all the facts. I was at a time driving with a suspended license and had no idea I was....technically I wasn't but somewhere there was a mistake and a very very weird chain of events that led to it. I doubt that is what happened here but let me tell you, it is very possible to be driving with a suspended license and be completely unaware of it.

I'll be honest, the only reason I care about how dumb he is in his personal life is because of how good he is on the field. I think he could have had at least 3 sacks in the 4th quarter of the last game had he been out there with a one dimensional Flacco. Smoke some pot, drive without a license, whatever. Just don't hurt anyone and leave me alone. You start messing with my Broncos, there is gonna be trouble! :mad:

Exactly what I thought too. When/if Von returns this season, I think we just let him play the year out and then in the off-season, we explore the idea of trading him. With the way things are going, there's no way the Broncos are going to give him a big money deal. He's one slip up, substance wise, away from being out a year. I think we need to get as much value for him now and be done with the headache.

Von grew up in TX and was a big Cowboys fan. Jones can handle a big money deal and Von goes back to his home state. In return, we get good draft compensation that we use to get more pass rushers in the draft and we use the money we could have spent on Von and give that to guys like Woodyard and Chris Harris instead

Per Legwold:

If Roger Goodell has grown weary of Broncos linebacker Von Miller's repeated legal stumbles, the NFL commissioner has the authority to add to the Denver linebacker's current six-game suspension.

and:

Because Miller was arrested in August on a failure to appear warrant, his latest stumble could land him in more trouble with the league if Goodell is inclined to invoke the league's conduct policy.

Goodell has repeatedly said he would take a more stern approach with what he called "repeat offenders.'' The fact Miller was cited during a suspension has certainly been noticed by league and Broncos executives.

from a 2011 article:


Miller referred to not just NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but also to some of his soon-to-be Broncos teammates as "Mister." He did the same for star NFL quarterbacks he will be expected to chase down ("Mr. Manning," "Mr. Brees"), explaining why he consented to have his name added to the players' lawsuit against the league.

"I like to show respect to those guys," he said of his pending Broncos teammates. "I haven't met those guys in person, so going by nicknames and stuff, I don't think that would be appropriate until we build a relationship and I can prove myself, gaining respect."

So where'd this come from? The same household and influences where the elder Von Miller was shocked to find out that his son was playing football.

"That was the way I was raised and the way we raised our children," said the father.

from same article:


When Miller rebelled and said he would transfer, Sherman responded that if he really wanted to leave, the coach would sign his release.

Von loaded up his 1981 pickup truck and started back to DeSoto. His phone rang. His father put it simply: "Turn around."

"It wasn't the right thing to do," Von, the father, said. "That's not who we are."

Said the son: "I pulled over. I objected and gave him my opinion, and I told him what I wanted to do. He said, 'No, the right thing to do is to go back and fix what you've done. You can't run from things.'

When you FTA or fail to pay traffic fines, they suspend your license. The 2 traffic things are related. When he failed to appear on the first ticket, they suspended his license.

Before you throw his father under the bus, you might want to make sure that he knew about the suspended license.



LMAO! We knew about it. . .the whole state of Colorado knew about it, but Von's Daddy didn't? Maybe not, but good grief. If my son had been arrested and had it splattered all over that he had been driving without a license previously, I think I'd ask him about it at some point, and suggest we figure out how to get it reinstated.

Well, from reading the comments here, I guess not everyone knew his license was previously suspended, but it was in all the coverage from his previous incident. Here's just one quick link: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/reports-von-miller-faces-6-game-suspension-from-nfl-after-violating-substance-abuse-policy


The day before that initial appeal hearing, 7NEWS broke the story that Miller had been arrested Aug. 11 at the Centennial Gun Club on a failure to appear warrant.

Court records show Miller, 24, was arrested for not appearing at his court hearing on charges from last October when he was cited for careless driving, driving without a license and no proof of insurance.

A uniform summons and complaint document said the offense happened on the 12000 block of Easter Avenue in Foxfield, about four blocks from Miller's listed home address. The document did not elaborate on the nature of Miller's alleged careless driving.

Dude, get a driver's license and insurance already. I guarantee that he doesn't have insurance in his name if he doesn't have a valid driver's license. This is so stupid from a personal finance standpoint. If he accidently hits someone and hurts them, they are going to own his ass and whatever paycheck he has left after the Broncos take his pro-rated signing bonus out.

from article:


DENVER - Drivers in Colorado may have their license suspended or canceled and never be notified.

7NEWS heard from multiple viewers who paid their speeding tickets after 45 days went by. Another person was late registering his vehicle. In those cases, they found out years later that their license had been canceled, but only after they were pulled over and an officer ran their driver's license.

We found out not all counties will notify a driver once they've paid a late ticket, that their license has been suspended.

Also, no where have I read/heard that Von did not have insurance

from original article posted, which does not mention anything about insurance


CBS4 has learned the star linebacker was stopped again by law enforcement last week and cited for driving while his license was suspended and speeding, adding to a multitude of legal woes.

In the middle of Von Miller's most recent traffic summons, the officer wrote in capital letters "MUST APPEAR IN COURT."

To further emphasize, that message was circled.

Perhaps, the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department was aware of the Broncos' star linebacker's past trouble with failing to appear.

On the morning of the Broncos' season-opening game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5, Von Miller II was ticketed for going 38 mph in a 25 mph zone at 7100 Richfield St. in Arapahoe County.

All of them say that in Von's orignal arrest in August that he was previously cited for DUS and no insurance.

He will not have insurance now, if he didn't then, unless he had gotten his driver's license reinstated in the meantime. . .he obviously hasn't. I am assuming that there's not some dumbass insurance company that insured someone with a suspended license. Maybe there is, but not in my experience.

Just imagine 20-30 years ago. Zero of these thing would even be found out by the league and the fans. We would all thing Von is a great player. But in the age of mass information, we find out a lot and assume we know everything.

Nothing Von has done warrants any of the reaction. This is stupid. We prop these guys up just to find any excuse to tear them down.

On one hand I think "at least he's not beating up his GF and getting in fights" an on the other I think "QUIT BEING A ******* RETARD!!!!" But, like I said, I've done everything this guy has done.

Wrong....You don't get the notice from the city you got the ticket, you get it from State of Colorado Department of Revenue. I had a fine that I didn't pay, got the notice and went down, paid $95 reinstatement fee and took the test. I was notified with about 5 different letters.

When you FTA or fail to pay traffic fines, they suspend your license. The 2 traffic things are related. When he failed to appear on the first ticket, they suspended his license.



But who says he did fail to do those things. I did not fail to pay my speeding ticket, yet my license was suspended and revoked.....It was all their fault. They messed up, but I had no idea about any of it until almost 3 years later.......Weird things happen. What happened to me is likely not what happened to Von.

Per Legwold:

If Roger Goodell has grown weary of Broncos linebacker Von Miller's repeated legal stumbles, the NFL commissioner has the authority to add to the Denver linebacker's current six-game suspension.

and:

Because Miller was arrested in August on a failure to appear warrant, his latest stumble could land him in more trouble with the league if Goodell is inclined to invoke the league's conduct policy.

Goodell has repeatedly said he would take a more stern approach with what he called "repeat offenders.'' The fact Miller was cited during a suspension has certainly been noticed by league and Broncos executives.

Von Miller:
1) gets popped in his rookie year for a substance policy violation
2) gets popped last year for careless driving, DWOL, and no insurance
3) gets popped in the offseason after his second year for failing ANOTHER test
3a) compounded by attempting to circumvent the test entirely

While he's figuring that out he:
4) skips his court date (party in Vegas was too important), gets his license suspended and has a bench warrant issued
5) is dragged off in handcuffs for said warrant while trying to purchase a gun because he never fixed it
5a) WHILE appealing his substance supension on the grounds that he's a good guy who's made a one-time error

Then his substance policy suspension comes down at 6 games (instead of the 4 if he'd just failed it for the second time). Von knows he can have this suspension extended if he continues to show up in the news with a "repeated pattern" of bad behavior. So he:
6) gets cited for ANOTHER DWOL and speeding
6a) WHILE on his way back from his meeting with NFLPA lawyers on the best ways to recover bonus money lost during his suspension
6b) which may lead to an extended suspension and even more bonus money and salary lost.

He's an idiot, and it's costing his team his presence on the field. "Oh these are small offenses" is true in a vacuum. We're not in a vacuum. If I had been suspended by my work for 6 weeks without pay for violating the drug policy and they told me to keep my nose clean to avoid further repercussions, MAYBE I shouldn't be speeding and driving around without a license and flipping off the people who have the power to take more of my money from me.

My co-workers sure wouldn't appreciate me being a moron if this was supposed to be our year of glory when all our dreams would come true if we can all just STAY FOCUSED AND CONTRIBUTE.

Von hasn't hurt anyone. He's not accused of any damaging crime. But he's being criminally stupid, literally, and it can cost us as fans as well has his teammates, not to mention what it's doing to his current and future bank account. It didn't cost us in week one, but how many weeks will we be able to say that? If we go undefeated then I guess it won't cost us. Fingers crossed for that.

There's still no way to sweep it under the rug, or shrug it off. Goodell can add extra suspension games at his whim. There's no useful appeal process. The ONLY defense is to keep your nose clean, and Von seems absolutely incapable of doing that at the moment.

He'd better smarten up, quickly. He's used up all his goodwill with the commissioner's office, and any more slip ups could cost him the year, and us a title. That's a high cost for the inability to call a driver or turn down a bowl or show up for court.

I sure am not talking about just traffic citations. I'm talking about a guy who continues to have mishaps, and another one that may/may not lead to more suspension. This is why some fans are upset with Von Miller, and don't give a ---- about Julius Thomas. Thomas has had 1 indicent. Big deal.

How does he not have his vehicles insured? Did he actually graduate from A &M or did he just go there for 4 years? Certainly I am disappointed in Von. If he didn't already have the issues surrounding him it would be easier to say "eh, no big deal."

I don't see how you guys can be so non chalant about this. I'd love to know what John thinks. ... not some media prepared statement, but what he is actually thinking/saying behind closed doors.

Carol,

See my link above. It's one of hundreds.

All of them say that in Von's orignal arrest in August that he was previously cited for DUS and no insurance.

He will not have insurance now, if he didn't then, unless he had gotten his driver's license reinstated in the meantime. . .he obviously hasn't. I am assuming that there's not some dumbass insurance company that insured someone with a suspended license. Maybe there is, but not in my experience.

It says no proof of insurance - could that just mean he did not have his insurance card in his wallet or in the car?

You're looking at the game Denver won without Miller. Some of us are looking at the game Miller didn't play in. If Denver goes 6-0 during this suspension, IMO you are right, and if you are right, then IMO we sure don't need Miller to win.

i don't think that's correct either (at least, he'll be necessary to win in the postseason).

again, i'm not convinced miller won't be missed. i'm just saying he hasn't been missed, yet. tell me that story when it happens, not before it happens.

There is. My insurance renewed when mine was suspended. When I got the quote the driving record was there, suspended license, and a higher insurance rate because of it. Dumb shit, really. :lol:

It appears that he was driving his "mother's" car, so that explains it partly.

On a side note, a policy renewing is a lot different than starting a new policy. Most companies won't check a driving record at every renewal. Sometimes it might be years between checking, and only then if there'd been an accident or something.

But when starting a new policy, they will almost every time.

We are not supposed to care unless he kills someone. That is what I get from Rav and RF.

Personally, I am most disappointed that I don't get to watch him play. I was really looking forward to watching him dominate the league for 10+ years. Now I think there is a good chance he won't be in league for very long.

you're employing hyperbole. i'm trying to react without it. that's the difference.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- If Roger Goodell has grown weary of Von Miller's repeated legal trouble, the NFL commissioner has the authority to add to the Denver Broncos linebacker's current six-game suspension, per the league's personal conduct policy.

Miller is one game into his suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, and on Wednesday team officials were privately wrestling with the revelation that Miller was cited last week for driving without a license and speeding.

AND


Goodell has repeatedly said he would take a sterner approach with what he called "repeat offenders." That Miller was cited during a suspension has certainly been noticed by league and Broncos executives.

Could be, but I doubt it.

In Oklahoma, police can tell if insurance is in force on the vehicle at that moment just by running the tag. Maybe they don't have that in Colorado, but I'm guessing they do. If not, you can have that ticket dismissed by showing that you did indeed have insurance, just not on you at the time. Von didn't bother to show up.

I'm taking a logical leap, but all the puzzle piece fit. I suppose that it's possible that when he was stopped last year and cited for no license and no insurance, that he actually had insurance and just couldn't prove it. But in the meantime he has never gotten his license reinstated, and he is conspicuously driving his "Mother's" vehicle, with his Dad in the car as a passenger.

Just imagine 20-30 years ago. Zero of these thing would even be found out by the league and the fans. We would all thing Von is a great player. But in the age of mass information, we find out a lot and assume we know everything.

Its not about knowing everything/anything. In this day and age with mass information it directly results in if a player is going to fullfill his contract that he is obligated to honor. If there were no penalites regarding Von and his off the field behavior i could give a rats ass (unless it was murder/rape/etc). But since his behavior is micro managed by the league and since im a fan of this team it is important to me that he is on the field honoring his contract and not acting like an idiot. People make mistakes, everyone does. But we dont play for the Denver Broncos and we dont get paid millions of dollars to fullfill a signed contract. He wanted to be a NFL player, get paid good money which is fine. But with that comes the responsibility of honoring the contract he signed and if he is getting suspended due to bad choices on his free time than im going to speak my mind about it. You dont have to like it, but im going to do it anyway because it does affect my favorite team.


We prop these guys up just to find any excuse to tear them down.

False. They give everyone else excuses to tear them down.


I've done a lot worse than Von Miller, so I can't say anything bad about what he's done.

He's not getting in gun fights, he's not in dog fighting rings, he's not beating women....... he had a traffic violation. EVEN Goodell has to see that the "transgressions" are minor. They are things that are stupid, but not harming. They are citations, and not really criminal activities. If we had seen Von get caught for smoking more illegal drugs, THEN I would be pissed. But this is just such small stupid stuff, and people want to go "OMG!!!!"

How many times does Von Miller the person have to do something bad until it affects your take on Von Miller the player?

Or is this latest transgression — being cited for speeding while his license was suspended — not a big deal to Broncos fans because, what's done is done with the six-game suspension stuff, so who cares what other silly mistakes he's made? At the end of the day, is Von simply an entertainer — a gladiator — so as long as he's out there for your team, who cares about his speeding (or skipping that court date the first time he was busted for speeding and careless driving)?

But he's not out there. Really, I've been surprised recently by how many fans weren't insulted and enraged by the linebacker's actions that led to his six-game suspension. Was it because you know he'll be out there once the playoffs come? Or is it cool because, as we soon found out, Denver didn't need him to knock off the Super Bowl champs?

Be honest: Were you madder last Thursday with Von, for doing something to miss the game, or Danny Trevathan, for the touchdown blunder?

Embattled Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller isn't just in legal trouble in Colorado stemming from traffic violations.

Court records in Orange County, Calif., show Miller, who is serving a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, did not appear for a court appearance in July 2012, leading to an open warrant.

Miller was cited for speeding above 65 MPH on March 8, 2012, according to online court records.

Can I go to jail if I’m found in contempt?

With a contempt of court action, the number one concern for any of our clients facing contempt is the possibility of jail. Jail can be ordered in both a remedial or punitive contempt situation. In a punitive situation, the court can order up to 180 days in jail upon a finding of contempt. The amount of time is up to the judge and there are judges out there who will not hesitate to impose a jail sentence. In a remedial situation, the court can also order jail time in a remedial fashion.

"The Substances of Abuse policy requires everyone to comply with the rules," Miller said. "Although my suspension doesn’t result from a positive test, there is no excuse for my violations of the rules. I made mistakes and my suspension has hurt my team, Broncos fans, and myself. I am especially sorry for the effect of my bad decisions on others. I will not make the same mistakes about adhering to the policy in the future. During my time off the field, I will work tirelessly and focus exclusively on remaining in peak shape. I look forward to contributing immediately upon my return to the field and bringing a championship back to the people of Denver."

I wish he would adhere to his promise!

failure to appear is contempt of court.
the bench warrent allows for his arrest .
the presiding judge has the discretion to punish as they see fit, including jail time, for both colorado and california.
contempt of court is NOT a traffic violation.
lawdog can you dispute any of this?

Can I go to jail if I’m found in contempt?

With a contempt of court action, the number one concern for any of our clients facing contempt is the possibility of jail. Jail can be ordered in both a remedial or punitive contempt situation. In a punitive situation, the court can order up to 180 days in jail upon a finding of contempt. The amount of time is up to the judge and there are judges out there who will not hesitate to impose a jail sentence. In a remedial situation, the court can also order jail time in a remedial fashion.wdog, do you dispute any of this?

The New Law – 17(H)

The Colorado Supreme Court has amended Rule 17(h) of the Colorado Rules of Criminal Procedure – Failure to Obey a Subpoena.

The new rule reads:

(h) Failure to obey subpoena.

(1) Contempt. Failure by any person without adequate excuse to obey a duly served subpoena may be deemed a contempt of the court from which the subpoena issued. Such contempt is indirect contempt within the meaning of C.R.C.P. 107. The trial court may issue a contempt citation under this subsection (1) whether or not it also issues a bench warrant under subsectionhow 'bout this 'dog?

when you sign your traffic ticket you sihm your sopeana.
CONTEMPT is at the discretion of the judge.
in both Co. and Ca.
based on vons habitual disregard for law,
contempt is very likely charge and jail time a likely punishment.
this is all at the discretion of the judge.

what exactly is your problem TX ?

do you think that just because von paid his traffic fines that everything is ok?

do you think that because he paid a traffic ticket his bench warrant automaticly goes away with it?

or do you just hate me so much you automaticly dispute anything I post?

I understand that he didn't "promise" to stay out of trouble or anything. However, I would argue that continual trouble with the law would make it hard to "tirelessly...." In fact, I would argue you can't be doing what you said if you are out getting in trouble!

He did not promise that he would stay out of trouble.

He gave his word, and in the end all one has is their word, to "work tirelessly and focus exclusively on remaining in peak shape." I don't know how you can do if you are doing everything but-at nflpa offices, getting pulled over, buying guns, etc...

not lawdog, he defamed me by saying I dont know what I am talking about, but he has declined the real opportunity to dispute my posts statement by statement, because he knows he CANT !
he can characterize me, but he cant tear down what i posted !
he can obfuscate the reality with a cute littlew court scenario and an amusing mobvie referance but NEVER did he say
'failure to appear is NOT contempt of court"
or any of the rest of it !

Three paragraphs later, in the same story, that representative admits she made a mistake:


Schroeder later told NFL Media she "can't tell" if there was a bench warrant issued for Miller.

Almost everything you've said today has been categorically false. We had a PROSECUTOR tell you were wrong. Think about that.
