This isnt Millers first run-in with the law since being drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL draft.

As part of his sentence, Miller was required to attend a class on stopping domestic violence for 16 weeks.
On Monday, Millers agent and lawyer Jack Reale told the Associated Press that he was still gathering information. Miller himself did not respond to the APsrequest for comment. It is unclear if he has entered a plea.
As of early Tuesday morning, the last post on Millers Twitter feed wasa link to the aforementioned Instagram post with an emoji depicting a hand curled into the rock-and-roll gesture.
