Man pleads guilty to armed robbery of ODU students in 2022
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – A man pleaded guilty Monday to robbing two students at Old Dominion University at gunpoint in 2022.
Court documents reveal in the evening of Nov. 4, 2022, 22-year-old Anton Miller Jr. stopped in front of a student walking home while inside of a gray Dodge Charger.
Miller, wearing a black ski mask, got out of the car from the passengers side and demanded all of the victim’s property while holding a gun to their head. The student complied with Miller’s demands, calling the cops after watching the Charger drive off with Miller, according to officials.
Moments after, Miller robbed a separate student along Hampton Boulevard.
Norfolk Police officers, while responding to a nearby drug store, spotted the gray Charger in a nearby parking lot. Officers arrested Miller, who was seen with an ammunition magazine tucked into his waistband.
Officers searched Miller’s vehicle, a nearby Hyundai Elantra, where they found a firearm matching the magazine in Miller’s waistband on the floor of the driver’s side, along with Miller’s identification card.
The identification card of one of the victim’s was also found in the gray Charger.
The driver of the Charger and another passenger told officers they knew Miller from the Navy, and that they were driving around the campus in order to find a party. According to them, Miller demanded they stop the vehicle and pulled out a firearm.
Both the driver and passenger of the Charger complied with Miller’s demands to leave the crime scenes. After the second robbery, the driver returned to the drug store’s parking lot, where Miller was subsequently arrested.
“Every student deserves to go to school in a safe environment, and Mr. Miller violated their safety and that right,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Ramin Fatehi said. “Mr. Miller threatened and endangered these students, and we appreciate the hep of the victims and the Norfolk Police in holding Mr. Miller accountable.”
Miller is scheduled for sentencing on July 26.
