Boise Police Officer Sentenced in Idaho DUI Case

Officer receives probation after pleading guilty to drunk driving in Boise.

Gary Miller, an officer with the Boise Police Department, had his case of driving under the influence in Boise come to a close last Monday. Miller pleaded guilty to Idaho DUI and the Fourth District Magistrate handed down a sentence of one year probation, 90 days in jail and a $750 fine. 87 days of the jail term were then suspended. The Magistrate also agreed to a withheld judgment, meaning if Miller completes the probation period without incident, the DUI arrest will be taken off his record.

Miller, 38, was off-duty when he was arrested April 26 for drunk driving by an Idaho State Police trooper. His blood-alcohol content was reportedly twice the legal limit. At the time of the arrest, Miller was given a citation but not booked into the Ada County jail. State Police cited general officer safety as the reason for the lack of standard booking procedure.

Miller, a 10 year veteran with the Boise police department, still faces internal sanctions from an internal investigation.
