OGDEN — A criminal defense attorney who was booked and released April 7 from the Weber County Jail on drug-related charges is still under investigation.

Although no formal charges have been brought against 53-year-old Tony B. Miles, booking records listed two charges of smuggling contraband into the jail, and one charge of use or possession of drug paraphernalia.

Weber County Attorney Chris Allred said Tuesday that an investigation is underway, and should conclude within a couple of weeks. 

“The allegations are very serious — potential felonies,” Allred said.

The Weber-Morgan Narcotics Strike Force is conducting the probe.

“We were called out that night to help Weber County on the case, and the County Attorney asked us to investigate,” said Strike Force Commander Troy Burnertt. 

Burnett declined to discuss any specifics, but said it would be handled like any other drug investigation.

“It doesn’t matter who’s involved. We’ll apply the same methods and same level of integrity as we do in all our cases,” Burnett said.

Miles, formerly a partner with the Ogden-based firm of Froerer & Miles, represented two men accused of stabbing another man 10 times at a party in 2014.

Jose Amparo Garcia was found guilty of first-degree attempted murder during that 2015 jury trial, and Julio Moyses Saucedo accepted a plea deal to serve three years in prison for his role in the attack.
