A Bellevue councilwoman is accused of assaulting a police officer as he was responding to an incident in her home.

Sabreena Miller, 29, is charged with resisting arrest and two counts of aggravated assault, according to court papers.

Police were initially dispatched about 3:50 a.m. Saturday to Miller’s home along Sumner Avenue for a report of a man who had stabbed himself.

Police found John Miller standing in the doorway holding some towels on his right leg that was bleeding.

He had a puncture wound on his thigh near his knee and was disheveled and sweating, according to court papers.

John Miller told police he had dropped a knife causing the cut, according to court papers.

An officer went into the kitchen and found two knives and a puddle of blood. Police found Sabreena Miller near the bathroom. She told officers to get out of her house, according to court papers.

When an officer told her they found her husband bleeding from a stab wound she “did not seem concerned and began to scream at me and push me,” the officer wrote in court papers.

Police said they smelled alcohol on Sabreena Miller’s breath and saw fresh scratches and red marks on her neck. She also struggled with another officer and punched that officer in the head, according to court papers.

John Miller later told police he and his wife had an argument over her being highly intoxicated and wanting to take narcotics, according to court papers. John Miller is charged with simple assault because of the injury to his wife’s neck, according to police.

Sabreena Miller was elected to represent Bellevue’s first ward in the 2021 election and took office in January.

Online court documents indicate the councilwoman’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 18 before District Judge Tara Smith.
