Yee Ha!
Head ‘em up, move ‘em out! Boston Herald:
A well-turned-out Texan and his stunning stiletto-heeled wife pleaded not guilty yesterday to charges they acted like boorish buckaroos while guests of the luxurious Boston Harbor Hotel, allegedly attacking police and berating staff with racist slurs.
The Rowes Wharf rodeo was allegedly precipitated by the lovers locking horns at 1:30 a.m. Sunday in a boudoir brawl in Room 1103, and then refusing to ride off into the sunrise at the request of hotel security.
John Troy Miller, 41, a self-described self-made collegiate sports marketing consultant from Southlake, Texas, just north of Dallas, shook his head and rolled his eyes after Boston Municipal Court Judge Annette Forde ordered him and the missus to appear in person at a pretrial conference Oct. 30.
He is free on $500 cash bail.
Jennifer Miller, 36, sleekly dressed entirely in black yesterday right down to her stiletto heels, is free on $700 cash bail.
Assistant Suffolk District Attorney Patrick Driscoll Jr. spoke to what he called “very serious allegations,” and even apologized to Forde at one point for repeating some of the words Jennifer Miller is accused of spewing, while she threatened to sue both police and the hotel.
Jennifer Miller, Driscoll said, even drew blood from one Boston officer she allegedly scratched while being booked, in addition to kicking a cop. Her husband is accused of bumping officers in a combative manner.
Boston police described the handsome hell-raisers in an incident report as “hostile, rude and confrontational,” and as having used “profane and racist derogatory language toward the hotel staff and officers.”
The ruckus was so bad that other guests were coming out of their rooms to see what was going on, police said.
The Millers are each charged with disturbing the peace, assault and battery, assault and battery on a police officer, trespassing and disorderly conduct.
With gleeful apologies to any Texans in the audience whose hides might get a little raw over Laurel’s hurtful cowboyist stereotypes. You can make some “Pahk yah cah in Hahvahd Yahd” jokes if you like.

No worries from this Texan/Ohioan. The Millers are what my mother used to call “white trash with money”. Texans used to think that good manners and proper comportment were essential to a good character, and most of them still do, so it’s embarrassing when the white trash with money get into the news.

Frankly, I think the schrod jokes are funnier.
