At about 10:10 p.m. Thursday, a white male suspect wearing a teal (blue/green) hooded winter ski type coat, a matching teal scarf and blue jeans entered (the Donut Shop, 8671 Government Way/Hayden), brandished a handgun and demanded money. The suspect is described as a white male in his 20’s. He is approximately 6’ tall and has an average build. His pistol was described as a dark colored (black or blued) semi-automatic.

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information that helps capture Michael Alan Miller, 24, of Coeur d’Alene. Surveillence footage showed where the robber had touched glass at the pharmacy, located at 2702 N. Argonne, and the fingerprints matched Miller’s, according to the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office. Miller has a warrant charging him with felony first-degree robbery after deputies say he held a knife to a customer’s throat and demanded OxyContin and methadone, according to a news release by Sgt. Dave Reagan. The robber fled westbound, and a K-9 team tracked him within a block of where Miller had been staying with a relative/Meghann M. Cuniff, SR. More here. Original story here.
