Deputies were called to a Gulf Breeze residence in Sterling Point Aug. 26, when a neighbor called saying she found Denise Hanein lying in her yard, saying Bryan Miller had attacked her. Hanein was the landlord and explained the altercation ensued after her renter Bryan Miller, age 27, turned the air conditioning up. She asked him to turn it down as she couldn’t afford to pay for the increased utility bills. A physical tussle occurred when he grabbed her wrist after she told him to move out. He refused to leave until he received his $700 deposit back, which she said she refused to do because he had not paid for utilities. She was able to break free and went to her bedroom to call 911 where Miller then pushed her down on the bed, took her cell phone and left.
