CPD Blue Seeks Female Escapee

Coeur d’Alene Police are looking for Cherish D. Miller, 19, of Post Falls, who escaped from police custody at 12:35 p.m. today. Miller was detained for a misdemeanor warrant for failure to appear on a crime she was charged with while still a minor. She was handcuffed and placed into the rear seat of a marked patrol car. The patrol vehicle was not running and the doors were locked. While the officer was interviewing other suspects with warrants at the residence, Miller pried off a foam seal around the window of the cage that separates officers from suspects. It is believed she slipped her cuffs in order to have her hands in front of her. She opened the slide mechanism on the window of the cage and. She climbed through the cage and exited the vehicle. Officers searched the surrounding area for Miller but couldn’t find her. Miller is a white female, 5’8, 130, blonde hair (was pinned up today) and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing black pants, black Vans shoes, and a black and red flannel jacket. She is possibly still wearing handcuffs.
