Judge adds new condition to T.J. Miller’s arrest release
Ex-“Silicon Valley” star T.J. Miller, who was arrested by the feds Monday for drunkenly calling in a fake bomb threat on an Amtrak train, has been barred from making contact with any “prospective witness” in the case.
Miller, 36, was released Tuesday morning after posting a $100,000 bond following a brief court appearance in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut in New Haven.
The judge overseeing the case on Wednesday added a condition to the actor and comedian’s release stating that he “shall not contact any prospective witness in this case,” a court spokesman confirmed.
“There is no indication that defendant has or intends to contact any prospective witnesses,” the judge wrote.
Under the initial conditions of Miller’s release, Judge Jeffrey Alker Meyer ordered that Miller only travel within the US, must not violate any federal, state or local law, and cooperate in the collection of a DNA sample, according to court documents.
Miller was busted by the FBI on charges that carry up to five years in prison in connection to the March 18 incident.
The feds say Miller made the bogus 911 call from an Amtrak train he was on to report that a female passenger “has a bomb in her bag,” after the woman rebuffed his “social overture.”
His next court date is scheduled for May 1.
