Our news partners at the Times of Wayne County report Newark Village Police arrested Michael Miller.
The 53-year-old judge had previously been issued a stay away order of protection on April 29 after his ex-girlfriend of 4 1/2 years filed a petition who told court officials Miller was going up onto her porch and looking into her windows.
After the order was issued, Miller is accused of talking with his ex-girlfriend's neighbors, who let him go into their backyards and watch her house. Miller also allegedly used the house of his secretary, who lived near his ex-girlfriend, to walk into neighboring yards to stalk the woman.
Miller also allegedly stalked the woman at her job and home.
According to the Times of Wayne County, the woman was afraid that the legal community would not prosecute or even seek charges against Miller because of his position as a judge.
Miller is reportedly charged with first-degree criminal contempt and fourth-degree stalking.
Miller was arraigned in County Court and released on his own recognizance. He is reportedly suspended pending the outcome of his case.
If convicted on the felony criminal contempt charge, Miller would also be disbarred as a practicing attorney in New York State.
