Miller was charged with eight felony counts, including robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, two counts of assault with intent to murder, assault to commit great bodily harm less than murder, weapon carrying with unlawful intent, larceny in a building and a felony weapons charge.

The other suspect, a 14-year-old Lansing male, was apprehended and is currently under the jurisdiction of the Ingham County Probate Court.

The charges stem from a robbery and subsequent assault that occurred 10:40 p.m. Nov. 6 at the business, located at 3009 Vine Street.

Two Jet’s Pizza employees, who are sisters and MSU students, were closing the store for the night when two males entered the store with a shotgun and announced the robbery, according to previous State News reports.

Both women were physically assaulted and sustained serious injuries requiring medical treatment.

The suspects allegedly stole an undisclosed amount of cash in the process and fled the scene, but their images were caught on the store’s surveillance cameras.

Lansing Township police chief Kay Hoffman said Miller could be facing a life sentence for at least four of the eight charges.

The other counts hold sentences ranging from 5 to 20 years in prison, depending on the severity of the crime and judge discretion.

“This was a pretty violent crime,” Hoffman said. “It’s not in all armed robberies do we find that there is this much violence.”

Hoffman said many people contributed to the suspect’s arrest.

“We received information on possible suspects from a lot of different people,” Hoffman said.

“The Capital Area Violent Crimes Initiative also did a lot of work on this.”

Because the charges are all felonies, the FBI also was brought in to aid with the investigation, Hoffman said.

Miller is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 6 for his preliminary examination.
