Men who allegedly shot neighbor in mattress dispute arrested — again — after video surfaces

Two men charged with murder in a deadly dispute between neighbors in Abilene, Tex., were arrested for a second time after video of the shooting made national headlines.
Police took John Miller, 67, and his son, Michael Miller, 31, into custody Friday, citing “great concern” for the community. They are charged with murder in the death of Aaron Howard, 37. Father and son were arrested for the first time on Sept. 1, the day of the shooting, and were freed after paying a $25,000 bond each.
The county district attorney filed a motion Friday declaring the original bond insufficient and the court agreed, Abilene Police Chief Stan Standridge said in a statement. The Millers are back in jail, Standridge said, each with a $250,000 bond.
Standridge did not say why the county district attorney waited 20 days after the incident to file the motion. On Thursday, the day before the filing, local and national news outlets published video of the argument and shooting, which quickly circulated, generating conversation in Abilene and across the country on social media.
