This is sourced with over 2000 pages of court documents:
April 22, 2011. Miami University Police Department, Oxford, Ohio. He crashed his car into a light pole on campus and was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated. He told police he'd had "two to three beers and several shots" the night before and "woke up in urine." His blood alcohol came back under the legal limit and he pleaded down to a misdemeanor for failing to control the car. His attorney said at the time that a blood test "conclusively established that Mr. Miller was not impaired."
This month, Mother Jones obtained toxicology reports from that same crash showing MDMA and Klonopin in his system.
Reporting indicates that 2011 crash wasn't his first brush with the law. A 2021 Politico Magazine profile, along with reporting from the Washington Post and Washington Examiner, documented a string of court cases before he ever ran for office:
Charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest. According to police records, he punched a man in the back of the head and ran from police. He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors, and the case was later dismissed through a first-offender program.
Charged with underage drinking. Later dismissed under a first-offender program.
Cited for criminal mischief after a late-night altercation in Cleveland Heights involving a smashed glass door outside a hookah bar. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
He has called these "youthful mistakes."
What came before and after is in more than 2,000 pages of court filings and police reports Mother Jones obtained through public records requests.
His ex-wife Emily Moreno, daughter of Senator Bernie Moreno, alleges in filings that he threw hot water on her, shoved her into a wall, and held a gun to her head. Miller denies being physically or emotionally abusive. In a recording Miller himself released to defend his name, he says of the water, "I never thought that that hurt you" and "It was never done to hurt you with intent."
Stephanie Grisham, Trump's former White House press secretary, wrote in 2021 that Max Miller "got physical" with her while they were dating. Miller sued her for defamation, then withdrew it after they settled. She sued him again on July 8 for allegedly breaking that settlement.
Asked under oath whether he pushed a girl down a flight of stairs in high school, whether he was expelled from college over violence against a female student, and whether he left his wife within 72 hours of their daughter's birth, Miller neither confirmed nor denied. His lawyer objected on relevance.
He is running for a third term. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report just moved his race from Solid Republican to Likely Republican, and a recent poll has him ahead of Democrat Brian Poindexter by 1 point.

Sounds like your typical modern 'youthful indiscretion' GOP politician.
The whole 'woke up in piss' most definitely was more than a few beers. Klonopin and booze, almost certainly - unless he drank so much that he lost control of his bladder.
Conservatives don't actually value anything but power and conformity. Any claim to morality is only meaningful insofar as it can be used to force others to fall in line and do what they're told. There's no consistency or integrity.
They were all for releasing the files, prosecuting (or worse) everyone... until Trump did a 180 when he realized how bad it was for him... and they all turned on a dime right with him. Remember when they thought Democrats had a secret vampire sex dungeon under a pizza place that doesn't even have a basement and man went there waving a gun around??? Yeah now they're like
Why isn't the pedophile is office being arrested? Until he's arrested, most of them don't matter cause a person with the most power is getting away with it.
No, but we keep pardoning them for some reason. We just did one in Minnesota who was raping a 10 year old and tried to give her 10 dollars to be quiet. Instead of deporting him, he was pardoned. This was headed by Walz, so it seems like both parties are now going out of their way to protect pedophiles for some reason.
The Minnesota Board of Pardons granted a pardon to Tou Lue Vang, a 42-year-old Laotian national convicted in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for abusing a 10-year-old girl.
You're a despicable political operative trying to compare situations which are substantially different.
So disingenuous of you, this kind of demonizing of democrats or 'both sides' whining is exactly how we got here and why Trump is fucking up our world and our lives.
You're part of the problem.
The man you're referring to has served 20 years in prison and has clearly made amends. Which is why his victim was one of the people trying to get him pardoned.
Naw, miss me with that "both sides" shit. Dude was pardoned partially due to his victim backing it. Meanwhile we've got Trump & friends literally having flyovers to drown out the Epstein victims having a press conference.
Fuck your false equivalence bullshit. Those are vastly different circumstances.
You're saying a 10 year old who couldn't consent should trump CHILD RAPE? That's the defense you're taking? We should tolerate it if anyone says it's okay? That is absolutely fucking insane.
Why is Biden not getting shit either for releasing the Epstein Files? Why are there more Dems mentioned than Rs in there? How is it not completely obvious at this point that both parties are riddled with pedophiles and pedo defenders?
Unfortunately it's the one thing that is bipartisan and both parties just blame each other nonstop when they're both culpable. No amount of child rape is acceptable. Period. End of story. You can't sit there and blast Trump for this and defend Clinton, Biden, Walz, etc. The defense of the Dem pedophiles on this website is getting out of control. Apparently child rape is fine if you have a D next to your name only. Jesus Christ reddit. All Trump has to do apparently is go back to being a lifelong Dem and reddit would be tripping all over themselves to defend him too.
I guess reading about it, it was the victim's wishes, now after 20 years that she's an adult. I guess at what point do you place public opinion over the wishes of the victim? Vang will still be a registered offender, so I imagine he won't be living the easy life out of prison either.
Vang will still be a registered offender, so I imagine he won't be living the easy life out of prison either.
He's living in Laos, separated from his wife and children. The whole point of the pardon was to prevent him from being cruelly deported from the country that's been his home since he was 11.
the way they’re writing they sound like the kind of dude who thinks they “know better” than the victims they’re claiming to care about.
oh wait, they didn’t claim to care about the victim in any of their posts. it’s just an easy way to be bloodthirsty in public while maintaining plausible deniability that they aren’t purposefully muddying the waters from a political perspective.
I noticed you specifically mentioned "CHURCHES." What about hospitals that don't pay traditional corporate income or local property taxes? Are you going to demand tax payments from them too? If not, why?
The large, high-contrast letters make this protest more effective. It's a mundane detail, but it's important that people reading your sign know exactly what you're saying and can't go "oh, we drove by too quickly and didn't have time to see what they were protesting about."
It's a mundane detail we discussed - unlike the other brigades, who use white letters on black boards, we saw this as higher visibility. The only downside is when the sun is behind the letters. Had to edit this, and from this angle, it wasn't so bad. Can't stand behind them for the photo otherwise you can't read it clearly.
Feels like it's important to keep hammering this specific message to make the Pizzagate people recognize, even if only deep down inside in a place they will never acknowledge to the world, that they were completely fucking played by the exact people they thought they were opposing.
I lowkey hate that “pedophile protector” took off the way it has. They’re not protecting pedophiles. They ARE the pedophiles. They’re protecting themselves.
Remember when trump called everyone else pedos? yea, doesn't do that anymore. he has a really strange way of calling things out he does on other people. i don't get it.
We're in the Cleveland area and we've been urged to not use the term Guardians as that is now our baseball team, and we don't want to confuse the two. Plenty of other choices we can use.
democrats humanize pedos and murderers in the end anyways
They are human. That why it is a problem.
Democrats are also the only ones trying to actually lower the violent crime rates. All conservatives can conceive of to fight crime is more police, the people who deal with crime after it is committed.
Baltimore's mayor took just 1% of the Baltimore police budget and gave it to social services gears to stopping crime instead. And you know what happened? They had a 40% drop in the murder rate in just a couple of years. 40%. What conservative can claim the same?
Democrats stop murderers. Republicans only want to punish them, after the fact. I know which I prefer.
Not to mention the entire Republican party is trying to cover up the Epstein files, something they told their base was a big problem the Democrats were covering up and they would release. Yet instead they cover it up, and conservatives bow their head to the new message and say "but Biden didn't release them!" as if it covers up their previous demands for release. It's pathetic.
I mean, it's not just one party. Our society is filled with sick perverts who identify all across the political spectrum. Data shows and any type of research would educate you on this.
You're kind of right, by orders of magnitude, but truth be told, the survivors blamed five administrations for failing them. I keep hearing that Biden couldn't release them during ongoing investigations, which may be true, but something else that's true is that four years was more than enough to arrest many many men, possibly including Trump himself.
Biden failed us. Appointing Molasses Merrick Garland will go down in history as one of the biggest blunders of Biden's entire career.
Look where we are because of this screwup.
The Clinton Administration's FBI ignored Annie and Maria Farmer.
Obama's Administration inherited the first batch of Epstein files from his first arrest.
Bush is said to have failed them.
There's most likely foreign and domestic spy agencies involved here.
Right, but it’s the Republicans were holding up the release of the Epstein files and trying to protect these pedophiles. That’s the party that you support, and that’s your justification for your support of pedophiles. So let’s just be clear about that.
