SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – San Francisco 49ers fullback Bruce Miller has been charged with misdemeanor vandalism after he was investigated in a domestic case stemming from an argument with his girlfriend that led to his arrest March 5.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office announced its findings Monday. The district attorney says that ”while original reports indicated that Miller may have pushed his girlfriend from his parked car, an investigation into the alleged assault was inconclusive.”
Miller, 27, has been away from the 49ers during the offseason workout program at team headquarters in Santa Clara. He received a three-year contract extension last year, and had been engaged to be married.
Jim Demertzis said the prosecution intends to ask the court that Miller undergo the type of counseling that will make an incident like this less likely to occur in the future.
A key run-blocker, Miller had 18 catches for 189 yards and two touchdowns last season for the 49ers, who went 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the first time in four years.
