Borris Miles pleads not guilty

07:06 PM CDT on Thursday, May 8, 2008

KHOU.com staff report

Former State Representative Borris Miles pleaded not guilty Thursday to two counts of deadly conduct.

The charges stem from complaints that he brandished a pistol and made threats at two different events in December.

Miles allegedly pulled a gun on the wife of TSU regent Willard Jackson at the Toyota Center during a Rockets game.

Later that night, at an invite-only Christmas party thrown by Houston businessman David Harris at the St. Regis Hotel, an apparently intoxicated Miles reportedly pulled a gun again.

Harris claims Miles threatened him. Witnesses said the lawmaker also forcibly kissed another man’s wife.

Each count carries a punishment of up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine.

Miles is expected back in court May 29.

Miles lost his seat in the legislature to Al Edwards earlier this year.
