John-Paul "JP" Miller, a pastor in Myrtle Beach, was arrested for allegedly assaulting a protester outside his church. This incident follows an FBI raid on his home just days earlier, related to ongoing investigations into his wife's death. The protest was organized by supporters of Mica Miller, who died by suicide in April. Her family has accused JP Miller of being involved in her death, which occurred during their divorce. The details of the alleged assault remain unclear, with conflicting accounts from witnesses and JP Miller's lawyer. JP Miller was released on a $776 bond after his arrest. He has also been making business moves, recently filing for a new religious organization and updating his church's address.
