Man indicted for birthday rape, roberry spree

Dandrea Miller allegedly celebrated his 20th birthday on April 12 by robbing and raping women in his Near West side of Milwaukee neighborhood. Most of the attacks took place in broad daylight. His indictment for that crime spree came yesterday.

Miller is charged with kidnapping, burglary, armed robbery, attempted armed robbery and two counts of first-degree sexual assault, all during an April 12 crime spree in which the victims included a woman eight months pregnant.

According to the complaint, Miller made the following admissions to investigators:

That morning, he entered an apartment in the 2900 block of W. Wisconsin Ave. and stole a couple of guns and movies. Using the stolen BB gun, he forced a 49-year-old woman to have sex with him between two buildings in the 500 block of N. 29th St. He then told her to open her purse. When he saw she had no money, he let her go.

He then rode a bike to the 3400 block of W. Michigan St., where he saw a woman walking, showed the gun and asked for money. He left when he learned she had none. The woman told police that Miller took a pack of cigarettes from her, the complaint says.
The complaint says he also told investigators:


In the 2900 block of W. Michigan St., he approached another woman - who police said was pregnant - displayed the gun and asked for money. She gave him $5.

He told police he then bought something to eat and a bag of marijuana, the complaint says.
He hid the bike and the BB gun in the basement of the apartment building near N. 29th and W. Wisconsin, according to the complaint.


Miller faces 257.5 years in prison and a $325,000 fine.
