‘They’re spreading lies about me’: Tesha Miller breaks his silence

Miller said he’s being unfairly targeted and accused of many things he knows nothing about. The stigma that continues to hang over his family name has made his life uncomfortable, he said.

“The things that they continue to say that I have done, a lot of them are inaccurate,” said the well-spoken Miller in the Loop News exclusive, just a day after he was deported back to the island.

“I am really one person and really don’t place much energy around what is being said about me sometimes because I know most of the things that are said about me are wrong,” the reputed ‘don’ said, adding “I don’t  know the motive behind it.”

Asked by Loop News to provide examples of the “lies”, Miller responded: “I don’t want to go into any details right now, but most of what is being said are lies.”

Miller fled Jamaica to the United States after he was freed of gun and robbery charges by the Court of Appeal in March 2013. He was sentenced in the High Court Division of the Gun Court to seven years’ imprisonment for illegal possession of a firearm and 15 years for robbery with aggravation, which led to him filing the appeal.

In June 2010, Miller, also called ‘Rat’, was acquitted of the 2004 gun murder of John Haughton in the Home Circuit Court because of insufficient evidence.

Months before, he was freed of the triple murders of Oraine Jackson, Jeffery Johnson and Nicole Allen in Braeton, St Catherine in January 2005. In 2008, police claimed that Miller, then incarcerated, was found with a cellular phone in his rectum during a routine search of his jail cell by prison officials.

Miller, meanwhile, said he continues to stay strong despite the “lies”.

“I never lose focus and I never get weak, that’s the type of person I am,” said Miller, who said that he will continue to trust in God.

Reports from police are that Miller returned to Jamaica on Thursday and was processed at Mobile Reserve along with other deportees.

He had served a prison term in the United States where had been convicted in 2014 on a charge of illegal entry.

Police said,  against the background of the reputed Clansman boss’ return, they have been keeping a watch on communities within Spanish Town, which is the seat of the gang.

There has been a simmering leadership dispute within the gang, and Miller’s brother, Craig Miller, was shot and killed at a premises on March Pen Road in Spanish Town last year.

Elan Powell, Assistant Commissioner of Police said systems are in place to ensure that order is maintained.

“We have some plans in place to re-assure citizens  that we are aware of the potential danger and we will do what is in our powers to protect them and make them safe,” Powell told Loop News on Thursday.
