Ex-49ers FB Miller Pleads Not Guilty to Charges in Hotel Attack

Former San Francisco 49ers fullback Bruce Miller on Wednesday pleaded not guilty to charges filed in connection with an attack in a Fisherman's Wharf hotel that injured two men.

Miller, 29, who entered the courtroom accompanied by about a half-dozen people, is accused of having tried to enter a hotel room that was not his at the San Francisco Marriott Fisherman's Wharf Hotel at 1250 Columbus Ave. around 2:45 a.m. on Sept. 5.

The room was occupied by a 70-year-old man and his 66-year-old wife, who did not know Miller, according to police.

When the couple's 29-year-old son, who was staying in the room next door, told Miller the room was not his, the former football player allegedly charged at him.

During the ensuing struggle, Miller allegedly punched the elderly man and used a cane on the victims, who suffered significant injuries, police said. He was later located at a Travelodge hotel across the street and arrested.
