Convicted Texas killer accused of romancing female jailer

Associated Press, 5/16/2008 

Texas' first convicted killer to be committed under the state's Sexually Violent Predator Program has been arrested again, this time accused of secretly starting a relationship with a female jailer.

Officials said Wesley Wayne Miller, 45, was arrested Tuesday night at the Cold Springs Jail, where he was required to live under the terms of his civil commitment order.

Alana Minton, Tarrant County assistant district attorney, confirmed Wednesday that Miller has been charged with violating a civil commitment requirement, a third-degree felony.

Terry Grisham, a spokesman for the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department, said that the 21-year-old jailer has been suspended pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported in Thursday editions.

Miller was convicted of murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison in 1982 for stabbing Retha Stratton, an 18-year-old high school cheerleader. Miller also was a suspect in a string of rapes.
