Charges dropped for the owner of car involved in deadly hit and run on TSU football player

Posted

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The suspect who was taken into custody in the deadly hit-and-run case that claimed the life of a beloved TSU football player will not face charges.

Arsenio Miller turned himself in last week after Metro Police issued arrest warrants against him in the death of 20-year-old Chazan Page.

Investigators say Miller is the owner of the car that hit Page, but prosecutors say they could not move forward with charging Miller due to a lack of evidence. In a statement, the DA's office wrote "After consultation with MNPD, insufficient evidence exists for a successful prosecution at this time."

The charges are dropped, and police are working to see if they can get new leads or find more evidence to get answers.

Page attended Lipscomb Academy in high school and then went to Tennessee State University. He played football all four years of high school, and in college was one of two offensive linemen to play and start in all 11 games according to TSU's website.

Nashville pet foster groups deal with overcrowding

It’s a sad reality that area animal shelters and non-profit rescue organizations face constant overcrowding -- with so many dogs, cats and other animals waiting for a forever home. Jason Lamb reports here that Metro leaders are working with those groups – including Critter Cavalry – to find solutions. I’ve fostered a dog from Critter Cavalry, so I understand the need is great. And I found my pup Domino through another local group, Proverbs Animal Rescue. Ultimately, it starts with all of us. Getting more dogs and cats spayed or neutered can help control the pet population – and ease the burden.
