More Info, Comments after Smith County Murder Arrest

TYLER – Smith County Sheriff Larry Smith releases more information and comments after 69-year-old Anthony Joseph Miller is charged with murder.

Smith County Sheriff’s Office detectives and other officers arrested Miller on June 3 after new information was gathered regarding Palacios’s death. Sheriff Smith also points out that he campaigned on trying to fight the drug problem in Smith County — and he says the Miller case was drug-related. The sheriff says you’ll soon be seeing more criminal investigation division officers on the street, along with more narcotics officers.
