Miles arrested again, $26,000 bail set

Anton M. Miles, 27, of Roxbury, Massachusetts was stopped by Southold police on Monday, May 17, processed on charges in that jurisdiction, and then turned over to the Shelter Island Police Department where he was charged with forgery in the 2nd degree and criminal impersonation in the 2nd degree.
Mr. Miles had been arrested previously by the SIPD on May 8 and charged with promoting prostitution in the 4th degree and operating a vehicle while drug impaired. At the time of that arrest and his arraignment, he provided and signed documents in the name of another person and was released before his true identity was determined through an FBI fingerprint inquiry.
