The officer noticed a fresh cut on her arm, along with several healing bruises.She denied that they were caused by Becker, saying she "bruised easy due to a medical condition."She repeatedly said the argument didn't turn physical then explained that Becker's head injury may have been caused by items that were being thrown around in the bedroom, but she couldn't be sure because it was dark.An ashtray found in the bedroom was collected as evidence.Becker was taken to St. Luke's Miners Hospital, Coaldale, for treatment and given a citation for harassment.When told she was being arrested for domestic abuse, Miller needed a few minutes to gather her purse and retrieve a large bank envelope from the living room.

She denied it was the money from the argument.Miller was arraigned before duty District Judge James Riley, of Pottsville, on charges of simple assault and harassment. Bail was set at $10,000 percentage, which she was able to post thanks to the envelope she removed from her apartment.The judge stipulated that she would be unable to return to Becker's apartment, so she was given a ride to the Pines Motel in Rush Township.
