A disgraced former Nomad bikie who was recently turfed from the gang after it emerged he was working as a male prostitute was sleeping with a prohibited firearm in his top drawer, police allege.
Alexander Victor Miller, 30, the former sergeant-at-arms of the Canberra Chapter of the Nomads, is behind bars on remand at Canberra’s notorious Alexander Maconochie Centre, after his latest arrest earlier this year.
Miller appeared in the ACT Magistrates Court by phone on Thursday, where he pleaded guilty to driving disqualified and possessing a knife, and indicated guilty pleas to two other minor drug charges.
He has pleaded not guilty to a charge alleging he possessed an undisclosed “sum” of tainted cash, and is expected to argue it was the legitimate proceeds of his work as a high-cost escort.
Documents tendered in court show in February this year police searched the ACT firearms registry and found Miller did not have a gun license or permit.
He was then charged over the alleged discovery of a .32 calibre, double barrel “key ring firearm” found during a drug raid on his Kingston Foreshore apartment in 2017.
In a statement of facts, police allege Miller was at home with Peter Zdravkovic, a former Comanchero who was later the target of an alleged assassination attempt.
Also at the raid was Chris Millington, who is currently on remand on a string of charges — which he denies — stemming from his alleged role in an armed home invasion and shooting at Miller’s house after he joined the Nomads.
According to police, during the raid they found a “Talon mini” taser, which Miller said he kept in his top drawer, and which he knew was illegal.
The “keyring firearm” was also allegedly found in Miller’s top bedside drawer, and is described by police as being “a rectangular shaped item, black and silver … with two cylindrical holes at the end and three buttons on top”.
Miller allegedly told police he had seen it before, but didn’t know where it came from or who it belonged to.
Forensic testing found Miller’s DNA on the gun, which is classed as a prohibited firearm, since, according to police, it “disguises or conceals the fact it is a firearm” and was less than 10cm long.
Miller’s case returns to court in September.
