Beulah man charged with possession and domestic battery

A Beulah man has been arrested on felony possession charges and for domestic battery.

On July 19, a Crook County Sheriff’s Office deputy responded to a report of a possible domestic in Beulah. He arrived to find a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper had already responded and was able to advise it was an active domestic; he requested Sundance Ambulance respond to the scene.

The trooper advised that, when he arrived, Tyron Miller was laying on the driveway on top of a female subject. Miller was detained, at which point the trooper located suspected marijuana on his person.

The alleged victim reported that she had been arguing with Miller and at one point he charged at her and physically took her to the ground. The deputy reports observing red marks on the victim’s arms and leg and gravel stuck to the back of her neck.

Miller allegedly claimed that the victim had fallen to the ground. The deputy reports that he observed a red scratch on Miller’s neck.

Miller faces a felony charge of possession of marijuana, third or subsequent offense, with five known convictions in Iowa since 2002. This felony carries a maximum penalty of five years’ incarceration, a $5000 fine or both.

He also faces a misdemeanor count of domestic battery, second offense, with one known prior conviction in South Dakota in 2019.
