(5-30-25) Muncie EMS Chief Wesley Miller has been placed on administrative leave after he was charged for domestic battery in Jay County.

In a statement released Wednesday, the City of Muncie announced that Miller has immediately been placed on administrative leave to “ensure an impartial investigation” to maintain the integrity of Muncie’s public services. 

Miller was charged in Jay County with two felony offenses, domestic battery in the presence of a minor under 16 and illegally entering a home.

Court documents say that on May 23, Miller’s estranged wife reported that she had received threatening phone calls and messages from him regarding their daughter’s visitation. 

She stated that Miller demanded she have their two-and-a-half-year-old daughter ready to leave and threatened to kick in the door if she did not comply. 

Later that night, Miller reportedly entered her residence without permission and physically confronted her while attempting to take their daughter. During the incident, she noticed that Miller had a handgun tucked into his waistband.
