Officers saw “very clear drag marks gouged into the roadway from where the cannon had been displayed,” according to Pierce’s arrest affidavit dated May 2. They then traced those lines to a residence on North Woodland.
When officers asked Cody Miller, the resident, whether they may go inside his garage, he declined. Miller allegedly told officers that he “did not want that” on his property, although Pierce had brought
The cannon to his house on April 1 at 3 a.m. According to reports, Pierce was “freaking out,” so he placed the disassembled cannon in the garage.
According to Miller, Pierce spent seven hours cutting the cannon using a Sawzall. When officers arrived at
Pierce’s house, they discovered a blue SUV that fit Miller’s description and the one seen on the security footage.
“Three large circular chunks of teal metal that appeared to have come from the cannon” were observed in the rear seat. Pierce had meth in his pocket when the police arrested him.
