PC Miller

PC Miller was one of two officers summoned to assist, and subsequently hinder, Tim Metcalfe in November 2018.

Tim's sister-in-law, Gina Seddon, had reluctantly gone on a date with Dave, a man she had met online which proved to be a disastrous encounter when she realised all he wanted was sex. She ran off from him and mistook the chase he subsequently gave to return her dropped keys for something more sinister. She rang Tim as he was drinking in the Rovers and he came to his rescue in his Street Cars cab, calling the police in the process. When all the parties arrived, Gina explained the error but PC Miller smelled the contents of a pint and a half on Tim's breath. He breathalysed him and, as the initial test in the police car proved positive, he and his colleague took Tim to Weatherfield Police Station for the mandatory second test which also proved positive.

Tim was on edge as his wife Sally Metcalfe was on trial the next day at Weatherfield Magistrates Court on charges of fraud, bribery and money laundering and he took his temper out on Miller, commenting insultingly on the officer's youthful demeanour, and asking if he had a pair of shorts to go with his uniform. The Custody Officer lost his temper and ordered Tim to be put into cell 1 overnight, meaning he was not able to be at the opening of his wife's hearing.
