The incident occurred at the Garden City Center in Cranston, Rhode Island, where Miller is accused of keying the vehicle parked next to his own.
The son of the car's owner reported the incident to the police, stating that he heard a scratching noise and saw Miller holding a set of keys. When confronted, Miller denied the accusation and walked away. However, police arrived and charged Miller with a misdemeanor.
The incident led to a series of awkward encounters with the local police as they tried to determine what happened. Police body camera footage showed how Cranston Police approached Miller two hours later, where he initially denied vandalizing the car and even allowed them to inspect his keys to see if any paint from the car had transferred.
