Sex Offender Arrested After Hitting Police With Car: BPD

BOLINGBROOK, IL — Before being arrested and charged with four felony crimes, including aggravated assault, a 34-year-old Bolingbrook resident hit a police officer with his car outside a home where police found suspected MDMA on Oct. 1, officials said.

Police arrived at a house on Wildwood Lane around 1:45 p.m. after obtaining a search warrant on the grounds of suspected sale of narcotics at the house. In the house, they found two pills believed to be MDMA.

In the house's driveway, police found Kierre Miller sitting in a Nissan. After approaching him, police said he attempted to drive away and hit an officer, who was uninjured, with his car.

Miller, of the 700 block of Bethel Avenue, was taken into custody without incident after he was removed from the vehicle, which he was driving on a suspended license, police said. Officials said Miller — a registered sex offender in Bolingbrook — also failed to register his address as required by law.
