The case is closed on a Sturgeon Bay man charged nearly three years ago on several charges, including attempted homicide. The Sturgeon Bay Police Department announced on Tuesday that 33-year-old Jacob E. Miller was formally sentenced in Door County Circuit Court on charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide, armed robbery with the use of force, and physical abuse of a child intentionally causing bodily harm. Each charge carried at least five years of initial confinement with five years of extended supervision, with the attempted homicide charge carrying 20 years of initial confinement with 10 years of extended supervision. The charges stem from an incident in April 2022 where Miller entered a residence on Georgia Street in Sturgeon Bay without the permission of the home’s owner.  Miller attacked the woman with a hedge trimmer, struck one of the woman’s children with his hands, and fought the woman’s grandfather. All three individuals were injured as a result of their encounter with Miller. When police arrived, the children were found inside a room they barricaded to protect themselves from further attacks from Miller. According to court records, he pled guilty to three charges in June 2024, and another four charges were read into the public record but dismissed. Miller is currently imprisoned at Columbia Correctional Institution in Phoenix, Md.
