KINGSTON, Jamaica — Tesha Miller was yesterday charged with two counts of making a false declaration and is scheduled to appear in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on April 18.

Miller, who has been in police custody since April 4, was charged after he left the island for Bahamas allegedly under a false name and was deported.

He had been in Bahamian custody for almost a month after immigration officials in that country accosted him.

According to a Bahamian source, while Miller was in custody he gave the police wrong names but they recognised his Jamaican accent and contacted the Jamaican authorities.

His expulsion comes almost a year after he was deported from the United States, where he spent two years in prison on a charge of illegal entry.

Miller went to the US after the Court of Appeal freed him of gun and robbery charges in March 2013.

However, he was deported, and shortly after was listed as a “person of interest” by Jamaica’s Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigation Branch. He was asked to report to the police following a spike in murders in the St Catherine North Division, where the Klansman Gang is engaged in criminal activities.

The police theorised that Miller could assist in their investigation of several murders in Spanish Town and sections of Portmore during the first quarter of 2016.

However, he did not turn himself in as requested and there were no more calls for him to make himself available to the police.

The police are unable to say when and how Miller left Jamaica.
