According to KTLA 5, the sheriff’s department brought in a SWAT team, bomb squad, and crisis negotiators. Miller—best known as a former MTV host—had been served an arrest warrant for stalking and domestic violence Thursday morning when he barricaded himself in, alone with his dog. During the livetweeting, he waxed philosophical about society, interacted with neighbors, and responded to tweets from local authorities. His tweeting began around 2:30pm ET and Miller stopped just after 4:30pm ET.
