Prosecutor Drops Misdemeanor Drug Counts Against Bode Miller

Fremont County says new information tied to a separate active case led it to dismiss the charges in the interest of justice.

Overview

  • Miller was arrested on June 6 and charged with possession of psilocybin mushrooms and drug paraphernalia after a deputy said he found a white dispensary bag with about 4.1 grams of mushrooms.
  • He pleaded not guilty, posted a $5,000 cash bond and has maintained he did not have drugs on his person.
  • On June 26, County Prosecutor Lindsey Blake filed to dismiss the misdemeanor counts, saying the office received new information related to another active case and declined to give specifics.
  • Online court records list a second man charged in the same stop and Miller’s attorney says a passenger has taken responsibility for the drugs.
  • The dismissal ends Miller’s immediate criminal exposure but leaves open possible action in the related case and raises questions about how the new information changed the charging decision.
