11/29/13 - Thereâll be no more jail time for an elderly Highland Township man who police say took a shot at his wife in a dispute over checks he'd written. 88-year-old Homer Miller pleaded guilty last month to misdemeanor charges of reckless discharge of a firearm and domestic violence for the July 13th incident at a home on Woodruff Lake Road. The couple's daughter called police after overhearing her parents arguing about checks her father had signed. She says her 73-year-old mother went to the mailbox to retrieve the checks and returned to find Miller pointing a handgun at her. The daughter says her mother wrestled the gun from him, but he got another handgun and fired at her. Under terms of his sentencing this week, Miller was ordered to serve two years of probation, undergo counseling and live in a nursing home or other lockdown facility. The judge also ordered that no guns be present where he resides. In addition, he can only have supervised visits with his wife. (JK)
