Saturday, January 6, 2024 – American professional boxer and former kickboxer, Jarrell Miller has been reportedly arrested for an alleged carjacking without a firearm or weapon and burglary with assault or battery.
Miller was apprehended by the police in
Hollywood, Florida, on Tuesday afternoon after being accused of attacking
a car dealership employee and then disappearing in a Dodge Ram pickup truck
that was recently repossessed, according to news network WSVN.
Police reportedly said that Miller did not know that the
truck had a tracker inside, which saw him located and arrested later in the
day.
The 35-year-old heavyweight boxer is said to have placed the
employee in a chokehold and slammed him to the ground before snatching his keys
and fleeing the scene.
Miller is being held on a $30,000 bond at the Broward
Sheriff's Office in Fort Lauderdale - having had a court hearing Wednesday
afternoon, according to reports.
The news comes just 12 days after Miller's mega-money bout
with Daniel Dubois in Saudi Arabia, with the pair featuring on the
highly-anticipated Day of Reckoning card.
The 35-year-old American lost the fight due to a 12th-round
TKO but picked up a career-highest payday in the process.
The fight was meant to help Miller get his life back on
track after being handed a two-year ban in December 2020 following a four
positive drugs tests in a 12-month period.
Miller was supposed to fight Anthony Joshua for
the Brit's IBF, WBO, and WBA heavyweight titles at Madison Square Garden on
June 1, 2020.
However, Miller failed a series of Voluntary Anti-Doping
Association (VADA) tests in late March and served a six-month ban as a result
of his doping.
Eddie Hearn decided to move on from Miller - who tested
positive for human growth hormone, EPO and GW1516 - and set Joshua up with Andy
Ruiz instead.
However, Ruiz stunned the world by stopping Joshua in brutal
fashion in the bout on June 1, 2019 - taking Joshua's heavyweight titles.
