A judge revoked Rebecca Miles’s pretrial bond after a prosecutor presented a certified copy of a new arrest and officers testified about an August incident that included an apparent DUI, a heated confrontation and a loaded handgun in Miles’s purse. The hearing took place in Dickson County Circuit Court during a docket call and bond-revocation hearing.

The state told the court it had evidence that Miles was arrested after a collision involving a private school bus that caught fire and that bloodwork later showed a 0.113 blood-alcohol concentration and the presence of oxymorphone. Detective Daniel Lewis testified that officers found a firearm and prescription medications in Miles’s purse, and that she is a convicted felon.

Defense counsel argued Miles needed treatment and urged the court to allow her to continue in an inpatient program. The driver’s husband, Joseph Miles, testified he wanted her to get help and described a dispute that preceded the arrest. He also testified that he had told officers about the incident and declined to answer some questions under the Fifth Amendment when advised of potential self-incrimination risks.

After hearing the witnesses and argument, the judge said the statutory standard for revoking bond had been met and explained that, given the seriousness of the newly charged offenses and the apparent danger to the public (including a child on the bus), the court concluded a full revocation was required. The court granted the state’s motion to revoke bond and ordered Miles held pending further proceedings.

The judge noted treatment remained an option later in the case but said that remanding Miles to custody was necessary given the court’s assessment of the severity of the allegations and the probability of conviction based on the evidence presented.
