Dubuque Man Crashes Through Garage Door To Avoid Arrest

Authorities said a Dubuque man drove a vehicle through a garage door near where deputies were located during an hourslong standoff Saturday night. 58 year old Dennis Miller was arrested on charges of four counts of assault on a peace officer with a dangerous weapon, as well as interference with official acts and a warrant charging a pretrial supervision violation. The series of incidents started just after 8 p.m. Saturday when a Dubuque County Sheriff’s Department deputy approached Miller outside of his residence because of a outstanding warrant. Reports say that Miller ran inside his residence and wouldn’t come out. Deputies attempted to make entry into Miller’s residence to arrest him, but Miller started a vehicle inside his garage and drove it through his garage door. No one was injured, then Miller ran from the vehicle back into his residence. After several hours, Miller did exit his residence without incident and was taken into custody.
