A man from Oakland
pleaded no contest to one count of stalking Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
yesterday, and was ordered by an Alameda County Judge to stay away from the
governor and his family for ten years. Attorneys say Jeffrey Miller had been in an Alameda County jail since June after repeatedly
threatening to kill Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver. According to
the Associated Press the deputy district attorney handling the case says Miller
suffers from a mental illness and has a methamphetamine addiction. Miller initially called authorities'
attention to himself in December 2005, when he showed up at a police station in
Amador County
saying he'd gotten lost on his way to Sacramento
to kill the governor. Miller repeated the threats to other law
enforcement officers in the months that followed. The
judge's order prohibits Miller from contacting the governor, getting close to
his Santa Monica home, his businesses and the Sacramento hotel where
Schwarzenegger stays. The judge also ordered Miller to serve three years
probation and complete a psychiatric treatment program for substance abusers.
