A Tennessee man is behind bars after an off duty deputy spotted him driving northbound in the southbound lane of US 23. 33 year old Kevin J. Miller of Knoxville was apprehended just after 1 o’clock this morning after several complaints of an erratic driver on US 23 near the Buckley’s Creek intersection. According to the arrest citation, Miller allegedly almost ran head on into another vehicle which prompted the officer with the Sheriffs Department to call in the complaint. Miller was arraigned this morning in Pike District court entering a plea of not guilty to charges of DUI, Wanton Endangerment 2nd degree, reckless driving and operating a vehicle without a license. Miller was lodged in the Pike County detention center on a $500 dollar full cash bond and is set for a pretrial conference on February 22.
