Adams County arrests - July 18, 2024

Clara Miller, 32, of Prescott, was taken into custody 7 p.m. July 3, on two Adams County warrants for the charges of failure to comply - sex offender registry and violation of probation.

According to an Adams County report, on April 8, Miller told law enforcement she would be staying at a Prescott address but actually stayed in Creston. From the same date, Miller failed to notify authorities she was residing in a camper in Prescott and filed a false report stating a deputy who was no longer employed in Adams County had given her permission to do so.

According to Adams County District Court documents, Miller was convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor and May 16, 2020, was granted a deferred judgement including three years of probation.

In 2023, Miller violated the terms of her probation by moving without permission, the home she moved to also included minors she did not have permission to be around. She also deleted text messages from her phone. In 2024, Miller did not accurately report her address, left the state and travelled to Nebraska without notifying or getting permission from her probation officer and was not honest with probation about contact with law enforcement, unapproved contact with minors and an Iowa Department of Health and Human Services investigation.

Miller was transported to the Adams County Jail where she was released from after posting $12,000 cash bond.
