STURGEON BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – A 33-year-old Wisconsin man received over two dozen years behind bars for entering a residence without permission and viciously attacking a woman and her children.
Court records show that Jacob E. Miller was sentenced to 20 years in prison, followed by 20 years of extended supervision, after a sentencing hearing on Monday for an incident that happened back in 2022.
On April 25, 2022, Miller, who was then 30 years old, entered a residence on Georgia Street in Sturgeon Bay without permission from the owner or any occupant inside.
The home was occupied by an adult female and two five-year-old children.
Miller wielded a hedge trimmer and brutally attacked the woman, leaving her injured and in need of medical treatment.
Miller then hit one of the children with his hand, injuring the child. Both children fled to another room where they barricaded themselves inside until police arrived.
The injured woman’s grandfather heard the commotion as he worked in the backyard of the residence. He ran into the house and was also attacked by Miller. The attack on the grandfather continued outside, leaving him with injuries as well.
The lengthy sentence reflects the severity of the attack and officially brings Miller’s criminal case to a close.
