Sammual Miller, 29, 1206 Wooster Road, Winona Lake, is being charged with intimidation, a level 6 felony, and possession of paraphernalia, a class C misdemeanor.

On Nov. 30, an officer with the Warsaw Police Department responded to an intimidation call at KGP Logistics. A human resources employee advised that on third shift Miller went for a break and was found asleep in his vehicle. Employees tried to wake him by banging on the vehicle but it took five minutes for him to wake up. Because Miller was so heavily asleep, employees suspected drug use and were going to do a drug test and possibly terminate him.

At this time, two employees notified the human resources employee that sometime between October and November they had a frightening conversation with Miller. According to the employees, Miller told them if he was ever fired by phone, he would come to the back of the business, go over a fence and move through the building shooting all the employees. He noted he would have to do it quickly to make it to the other side of the building before people escaped.

Both employees told the officer the same details. One of the employees further advised he was afraid because he sold Miller a rifle about seven months ago.

The officer spoke with Miller who admitted he talked about “shooting the place up.” He told the officer he would force everyone to the side of the building with only one exit. He further admitted to having a rifle at his residence. The officer traveled to his residence and found the firearm, which was taken as evidence. The officer also found a glass smoking device that contained burnt marijuana.

Miller was booked into the Kosciusko County Jail on Dec. 13, with a $5,250 surety and cash bond.
