Ohio Woman Charged with Murder and Assault on Police Officers: High Bond Set Due to Past Violent Behavior

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

An Ohio woman, charged with her mother's murder and felonious assault on police officers, appeared distraught during her first court appearance last week.
23-year-old Anna Millette broke down during a bond hearing. Millette is accused of pinning her mother against a garage wall earlier this month, leading to her mother's death and injuries to two responding officers.
Bodycam footage released by the Miami Township Police Department shows officers attempting to help Millette out of her vehicle before she sped off, injuring the officers. The video captures the officers shouting, "Stop! Stop! Stop! Get out of the car!" as Millette reversed, sending one officer to the ground and allegedly striking another.
Prosecutors secured a high bond after revealing Millette's past incident of using a vehicle as a deadly weapon. Her bond was set at $5 million, with prosecutors arguing for a high amount due to her "demonstrated pattern of violent behavior" and the "likelihood that she will return to court is low given her numerous attempts to flee."
Millette's defense lawyer claimed during the hearing that she is pregnant with her first child.
On June 15, Miami Township Police responded to a domestic situation between Millette and her mother, Joyce Millette. Police stated, "The daughter used a vehicle to pin the mother against the garage wall. As officers arrived, trying to break out the vehicle windows to free the woman, the driver reversed and struck two officers."
Authorities reported that Joyce Millette, 64, died from her injuries. They released the footage to show "the danger the officers were involved in."
Prosecutors also presented additional video evidence showing Anna Millette "charging her vehicle through the yard, backing up and charging again at least three times." On the final charge, she allegedly chased her mother into the garage, where she crashed into the walls, pinning her mother.
Timothy Escobar, her boyfriend, revealed that Millette had been battling mental health issues for several years. He recounted a previous incident where she hit him with a car two years ago, for which she served over a year in jail before being released on probation in July 2023.
“She wasn’t herself, really,” Escobar said. “I didn’t take it to heart. I had to get some stitches on my face and that’s about it. They stitched me up real good.”
Escobar mentioned that her mother had tried admitting her to a mental hospital but they eventually stopped accepting her. He believes that if she had received proper treatment, her mother would still be alive.
Millette is due back in court this week.
