49ers cut FB Miller after alleged attack on duo
Print Edition
THE San Francisco 49ers on Monday axed fullback Bruce Miller after he was arrested in connection with an assault on a 70-year-old man and his son.
The 1.52-meter, 112kilogram Miller, 29, was reportedly detained by police following an attack on the two men at a hotel in San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf district late on Sunday. Reports said Miller became violent after attempting to check into the hotel only to be told all the rooms were fully booked. Miller then began on knocking on room doors in the hotel, rousing an elderly couple. When the couple’s 29-year-old son, staying in a neighboring room, came to their aid, Miller attacked. When the man’s 70-year-old father attempted to intervene, Miller punched him in the face and broke multiple bones. Both father and son were hospitalized after the incident. The 49ers reacted swiftly on Monday, first acknowledging the incident in a statement. But within a few hours the 49ers had confirmed that Miller had been sacked, announcing tersely: “The 49ers have released Bruce Miller.”
