北卡罗来纳州一名政治候选人周一在与凯里市警方对峙后被捕——这起事件始于社交媒体上的威胁，并包括致电WRAL电视台讲述他的说法。
A North Carolina political candidate was arrested Monday following a standoff with Cary police — the culmination of an incident that started with threats on social media and included calls to WRAL to tell his side of the story.
乔纳森·D·米勒（Jonathan D. Miller）是自由党提名的州参议员候选人，其选区涵盖凯里市大部分地区及韦克县西部其他部分。他在周一下午3点左右被捕，此前他在凯里市洛赫米尔（Lochmere）社区附近与警方对峙了很长时间。对峙地点附近的一所私立学校——复活路德学校（Resurrection Lutheran School）周一部分时间处于“黄色代码”封锁状态。
Jonathan D. Miller, the Libertarian Party nominee for a state Senate seat covering much of Cary and other parts of western Wake County, was arrested about 3 p.m. after a long standoff with police near Cary’s Lochmere neighborhood. Resurrection Lutheran School, a private school near the standoff location, was in a code yellow lockdown part of Monday.
警方表示，米勒被指控传播威胁、抗拒执法人员和携带武器恐吓公众，目前被关押在韦克县看守所。
Other WRAL Top Stories Police said Miller was charged with communicating threats, resisting officers and going armed to the terror of the people, and is at the Wake County Detention Center.
米勒在X平台（原推特）的账号于周日晚间及周一全天发布了多条信息。这些帖子提到有自杀倾向，并似乎包含寻求与警方发生枪战的暗示。
Miller’s account on X, formerly known as Twitter, had posted a number of messages on social media Sunday night and throughout the day Monday. The posts spoke of feeling suicidal and included apparent references to seeking gun battles with the police.
“整个警察局都拔枪追我。这会很有趣，”米勒账号周一上午发布的一条帖子写道，随后另一条帖子称：“我有六发子弹并占据制高点。希望他们别找到我，但如果找到了，那将是一场精彩的大戏。”警方一直在监控这些帖子，并于周一早些时候试图与他交谈。据凯里市警察局称，警方于上午8点26分左右前往米勒位于格伦埃科巷（Glen Echo Lane）的住所进行福利检查，该地点位于基尔代尔农场路（Kildaire Farm Road）旁。
“The whole police department is chasing me with guns drawn. This should be fun,” a post on Miller’s account said Monday morning, followed by another post saying: “I've got six shots and the high ground. I hope they don't find me, but if they do it's going to be a hell of a show.”Officers had been monitoring the posts and tried to talk to him early Monday. According to the Cary Police Department, officers made a welfare check around 8:26 a.m. at Miller’s home on Glen Echo Lane just off Kildaire Farm Road.
凯里市警察局长特里·萨尔特（Terry Sult）周一在新闻发布会上表示，警方最终找到了他——“他持有枪支，被命令不得触碰，但他转身逃跑了”——但这起事件并未以枪击告终。
Police eventually found him — “He had a firearm and was ordered not to touch it, and he took off running,” Cary police chief Terry Sult said Monday during a news conference — but the incident didn’t end in gunfire.
周一，在米勒所在的公寓楼内，对峙持续了数小时，最终以他被捕告终。警方表示，对峙期间无人受伤。“他当时处于黑暗之中，”萨尔特说，“感觉他已走投无路。”
The standoff lasted several hours Monday in Miller’s apartment complex, ending in his arrest. Police said nobody was injured during the standoff. "He was in a dark place,” Sult said. “Felt like he was on his last leg." During the standoff, Miller called WRAL multiple times to tell his story and to offer critiques of the Cary Police Department. He also made reference to the large amount of attention his social media posts received. Chase Oliver, the Libertarian Party’s nominee for president in 2024, was among those who responded to Miller’s social media posts asking him not to take his own life or battle the police.
对峙期间，米勒多次致电WRAL电视台讲述自己的经历，并对卡里警察局提出批评。他还提到自己社交媒体帖子获得的大量关注。2024年自由党总统提名人蔡斯·奥利弗是那些在米勒社交媒体帖子下回复、劝阻他不要自杀或与警方对抗的人之一。
“Last night I was pretty depressed and suicidal, and I sort of put a suicide note on X, and it has gone quite viral,” he told WRAL during one of the calls. “Actually, millions of people have seen it. I usually get about 50 views on my post, but this one has gone super viral on me. I spent all night crying, and angry, and upset, and depressed, and all the emotions. And this morning I was tired, but I had things I needed to do. And I didn't kill myself.
“昨晚我非常抑郁，有自杀倾向，我在X上发了一张遗书，结果传播得很广，”他在其中一次通话中告诉WRAL，“实际上，有数百万人看到了。我平时发帖只有约50次浏览量，但这一条对我而言疯狂地病毒式传播了。我整晚哭泣、愤怒、难过、抑郁，经历了所有情绪。今天早上我累了，但还有事要做。我没有自杀。”
“So I got up and made coffee,” Miller continued, “and I had two sips of coffee, and I went outside to have a cigarette, and while I was having a cigarette, a police officer approached me, knew my name, saw that I had a holstered revolver on my hip, so he drew his weapon and told me to keep my hands away from mine. I told him I was going to refuse that order, and I backed away slowly until I was far enough away from him to turn and run, and then I turned and ran into the woods.”
“于是我起床煮咖啡，”米勒继续说道，“我喝了两口咖啡，然后走到外面抽根烟，正抽着烟的时候，一名警察走过来，叫出了我的名字，看见我腰间枪套里插着一把左轮手枪，于是拔出枪命令我双手别靠近我的枪。我告诉他我要拒绝执行那个命令，然后慢慢后退，直到离他足够远可以转身逃跑，接着我转身跑进了树林。”
Miller — after hours of being pursued — added: “They have been chasing me since this morning. They're not very good at it. They really probably should get some more training on tracking somebody down.”
米勒——在被追捕数小时后——补充道：“他们从今天早上就开始追我了。他们干得不怎么样。他们真的大概应该去接受一些追踪人的训练了。”
Asked why he called WRAL, Miller said: “I figured this story was probably going to make the news, so I thought you might have some questions for me.”
被问及为何致电WRAL，米勒说：“我估计这事儿多半会上新闻，所以我觉得你们可能想问我几个问题。”
Asked if he was hurt, Miller told WRAL: “No. Not yet.”“Are you afraid of getting hurt?” a WRAL employee asked Miller.
被问及是否受伤，米勒告诉WRAL：“没有。还没有。”一名WRAL员工问米勒：“你怕受伤吗？”“有点儿，”他回答。
“A little bit,” he responded.
被问及为何躲在树林里，米勒说：“因为我不想让他们把我抓走，然后关进医院。”
Asked why he was hiding in the woods, Miller said: “Because I don't want them to take me into custody and then lock me up in a hospital.”
随后他说，他怀疑在医院得不到妥善治疗。“要是我去医院，每天大概只能跟医生见15到30秒，那才是我倾诉的时间，”米勒告诉WRAL。“他会给我开一种没用的药，过几天我又会回到现在这种地步。”
He then said he doubted he’d get adequate treatment in a hospital. “If I go to the hospital, I'll spend approximately 15 to 30 seconds every day with a doctor, and that'll be my time to talk it out,” Miller told WRAL. “He'll write me a [prescription] for a drug that doesn't help, and in a few days I'll be right back where I'm at now.”
随着警方逼近，他告诉WRAL：“我在这树林里跑了一整天。你知道，有时能看见他们，有时能听见他们。所以他们离我很近，就是找不到我。”他补充说，希望警方最终放弃搜捕。“我希望能熬过去，然后消失，再也不回凯里了，”米勒说。
As the police closed in, he told WRAL: “I've been running around into the woods all day. You know, sometimes I can see them, sometimes I can hear them. So they're close, but they can't find me.”He added that he was hoping police would ultimately give up the hunt. “I am hoping to wait them out and then disappear and never come back to Cary,” Miller said.
警方将米勒抓获后，凯里警察局局长感谢WRAL接听了这些电话。
After police took Miller into custody, Cary's police chief thanked WRAL for taking the calls.
“我们能够稍微指导一下与他交谈的人，并且在获得WRAL许可的情况下监控了那次谈话，”萨尔特说。“这为我们提供了一些额外的见解，与我们正在处理的情况非常一致。它填补了空白。”米勒正在竞选目前由民主党参议员盖尔·阿德科克占据的席位。共和党提名人菲利普·亨斯利也在竞选该席位。
"We were able to coach whoever was talking to him a little bit, and we were able to monitor that conversation with the permission of WRAL," Sult said. "It gave us some additional insight, very consistent with what we were dealing with. It bridged the gap." Miller is running for the seat currently held by Democratic Sen. Gale Adcock. Republican Party nominee Philip Hensley is also running for the seat.
