SAN ANGELO – One of the critical aspects of an accident scene or fire scene if for first responders to keep bystanders safe. Sometimes, individuals get too close to a crash or fire and are asked to move back.
A local agent provocateur has recently been forcibly marching into crash, fire, and crime scenes causing liability issues for law enforcement and firefighters.
Jack Miller has a YouTube channel and a phone and is determined to draw law enforcement officers or firefighters into some type of altercation on video, perhaps so he can sue for big bucks.
Miller is no stranger to the news cycle. The first encounter between Miller and law enforcement occurred in October 2020. During the incident he was wrongfully arrested by the San Angelo Police Department. For more see: WATCH: SAPD Releases Body Cam Footage of a Viral Video
Because of the this incident, the City of San Angelo was sued in federal court by Miller. The two parties later settled out of court for $125,000 according to court documents. In the settlement $15,000 was set aside for Miller's son and the rest was awarded to Miller.
Since that day, Miller has been ambulance chasing San Angelo area first responders with a vengeance. On his Youtube Channel, the Blue Line Whistleblower, he has posted numerous videos attempting to trap, bait, push first responders in hopes that he can "expose" them.
Now he has turned his ire on local civilians.
One civilian victim was a man named Ronald Wegner. Wegner, a resident of Tom Green County, was arrested on May 3 for assault that caused bodily injury to Miller. In a police report obtained by San Angelo LIVE! it claims that Wegner hit Miller in the head and broke his cell phone. County assistant attorney Leland Lacy is prosecuting the case, according to court documents.
San Angelo LIVE! interviewed Wegner, who was defamed on Miller's YouTube channel as the "Gangsta Grandpa."
In the interview, Wegner did not deny hitting Miller but did note the amount of hostility Miller had towards him. This apparently is nothing nothing new from Miller. In the video below, he can be seen screaming expletives towards anyone in his way.
In this new video obtained by us through a Texas Public Information Act request, Miller can be seen once again causing problems for first responders. This time he directs his ire at law enforcement and volunteer firefighters at a grass fire scene on May 7, 2022 near Carlsbad.
The following video is conversation from body cam footage released by the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office. For the full video click here. The video was recorded on May 7, 2022 and contains extremely graphic language. Viewer discretion is advised.
In the video Miller is heard telling the Chief of the Volunteer Fire Department, "F--k you, shut up" when asked to move away from a fire scene. He then refused to move which forced a deputy with the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office to make him move.
Miller continued arguing, chest bumping, and threatening law enforcement for the entirety of the 45 minute video. Multiple times in the video Miller tells deputies to "Shut the F--k Up," "F--k you," and even called a deputy the homophobic slur, "faggot."
In the State of Texas, the crime of disorderly conduct is defined as a person who commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly uses abusive, indecent, profane, or vulgar language in a public place, and the language by its very utterance tends to incite an immediate breach of the peace.
In the State of Texas interfering with public duties is also a crime. A person commits an offense if the person with criminal negligence interrupts, disrupts, impedes, or otherwise interferes with, a peace officer while the peace officer is performing a duty or exercising authority imposed or granted by law, a person who is employed to provide emergency medical services including the transportation of ill or injured persons while the person is performing that duty, or a fire fighter, while the fire fighter is fighting a fire or investigating the cause of a fire.
During the incident no arrest was made.

The reason this piece of c##p keeps doing this is because he keeps getting away with it. For an enterprising guy that wanted to, miller probably isn't that hard to out smart. Then you could sue him. After all, he does have over 100K of your tax money that he could lose in a court case.

PermalinkSadly the SAPD made this dude with the first interaction. After they settled with him anything now looks like retaliation. I have no sympathy for the guy in the golf cart, but it sucks that working police have to deal with this guy daily now.

PermalinkNot worried. This dumbass will cross the line someday people like him who look for trouble usually end up finding it ;)

PermalinkI agree im not defending him, i thought he had a point in the walmart, but everything ive seen since is just silly. I dont thinks hes actually breaking any laws, it would have to be cut and dry to arrest him at this point due to the first altercation. Not leaving an arbitrary area a volunteer firefighter calls a scene wont do it. The officer knows this thats why he takes the cursing that he does.

PermalinkNothing “arbitrary” about it he was standing right next to one of the fire trucks when they told him to step back.

PermalinkIf you or i walked up and stood in the same spot they would have asked us to take some steps back, Maybe. They would not have pushed us half a block down the road. The distance was completly arbitrary and like i said if it was defensible he would have been in jail for MFing the officer.

PermalinkOh please more than likely he was asked to step back multiple times prior to that. However “arbitrary” you believe it to be, apparently there was a perimeter already established down the block where his truck happened to be parked ;)

PermalinkThen why was he not even ticketed it was cut and dry they had him on three cameras. If you are correct and he broke the two laws listed why was nothing done?

PermalinkDon’t know he should have been. The job of first responders is difficult enough without people like this milling about. Which is precisely why “perimeters” are set up…to not only protect this JACKass, but to allow law enforcement personnel and firefighters the ability to do their job!

PermalinkBecause the actions didn’t fit the violation.

PermalinkPure ignorance. Something I practice on a regular basis, is to keep my mouth shut if I don’t know what I’m saying to be true and accurate. Give it a try.

PermalinkNo perimeter was set up, and I don't drive a truck. You're letting your ignorance show.

PermalinkI doubt they would have. Don’t forget there were 2 kids under the age of 10 in the red truck with both passenger windows down even closer to the fire. You can’t get arrested for MFing a police officer either. Supreme Court rulings have ruled in multiple cases that the Fbomb is protected free speech.

PermalinkThe first altercation has nothing to do with how sapd act today. This isn’t sapd anyways.

PermalinkPerfect example of weakening the system by awarding Jhon welfares like this child. The reason why people run angelo ramped without fear of repercussions for breaking the law. This kid needs to be put away to learn to mind his own business and quit harassing people to a get an easy payday again. Boy needs a lesson by hard knocks since his parents failed to teach him

PermalinkUses of profane speech is the least of the offenses this ignorant POS committed…the greater offense is interfering with first responders to do their job ;)

PermalinkThese are firefighters just trying to do their job. Whatever “injustice” he might have experienced does not give him the right to do what he’s doing, it’s a CRIME and he needs to be charged with such ;)

Permalinkthis young man is just trying to show everyone how corrupt our law enforcement can be and if the officials were doing what they are suppose to do then they would not be so upset
I think san angelo live should be the one reporting and videoing our officers and deputies along with other elected officials that are corrupt
but they dont want to expose the ugly, so now this kid is and its causing an up roar, because no one likes the ugly
miller is doing what SOMEONE needs to do, so he is the bad guy? i dont think miller is brave for standing up for what is right ,if others would stand up too then maybe this town wouldnt be such an awful place to be

PermalinkMr Miller,
I want to be filmed kicking you and your pseudonym's arse. Bring a tripod, you will need both hands.

PermalinkHaha January 6th obviously you support this lowlife scumbag ;)

PermalinkOn the matter of this "lowlife scumbag" we agree.
It would appear this fool is walking a thin line between righteous protest and illegality. By all appearances he is a flaming jackass suffering from delusions of self-importance and using the tool of social media to make him look like Somebody when in fact he is a valueless maggot doing far more harm than good.
The day will come when he clearly breaks some law, and when that happens I hope the legal hammer drops on him. It is also possible that the day will come when he aims his poisonous personality at someone who does not suffer fools lightly and subsequently beats the pudding out of him.
I have no problem with either outcome.

PermalinkSomething I did notice though…the guy’s demeanor changed significantly once the 6’7” sheriff showed up on the scene lol.

PermalinkPurely coincidental, of course.

PermalinkYou know something else that changed at that time. The fat Deputy finally backed up out of his face. I'd say that would calm someone down. Plus there is the fact he has good relations with some cops. That supervisor being one of them.

PermalinkTypical. The cop hating left was completely silent whenever cities were burned and police officers were assaulted and killed calling it “justified”. And yet when one of their own, whose sole purpose in his miserable life is to harass and intimidate law enforcement is involved, they cry “law and order” ;)

PermalinkYou’re kidding right MeMe? Was constantly referred to as a “mostly peaceful protest” the entire time it was happening and afterwards ;)

PermalinkHaha an “insurrection”. You mean the mostly peaceful protest at the Capital?
Tell you what friend, you would plead guilty to just about anything if you were thrown in solitary confinement for a over a year without bail ;)

PermalinkYou overlook the clearly stated purpose behind the entire event: Disrupt the normal process of voting results approval and the peaceful transition of power from the defeated president to the victor.
That is an insurrection. Yes, some fools were there more for grins and giggles than anything meaningful, but there was vile, evil, undemocratic thinking driving the overall happening.
Trump lost. Biden won. Only idiots continue to believe the election was "stolen". No verifiable evidence supports this nonsense. January 6 was driven by (1) Deluded fools incapable of comprehending that their God On Earth actually lost, and (2) Trump sycophants who desperately wanted to retain the power they gained by worshiping a monster.

PermalinkI disagree. Not an “insurrection” just a few bad actors that’s all.

PermalinkThe insurrection question must include those Trumpian lawyers, staffers, and slavish congresspersons who clearly were working behind the scenes to keep that thug in power. January 6 is more than the idiocy demonstrated at the Capital that day.
It was far more than a "few bad actors". It was a clear attempt to overturn a valid election in favor of a monster.

PermalinkHaha a “monster”. The truth is things are FAR FAR worse under Biden than under Trump, but you Biden sycophants can’t bring yourselves to admit it because that would make you wrong ;)
