MIAMI TOWNSHIP, Ohio — A woman who was in custody for allegedly pinning her mother against a wall with a car, killing her, was found incompetent to stand trial Thursday morning.

Anna Millette, 23, was being held at Clermont County Jail for murder and felonious assault after she was accused of using a car to pin her mother, 64-year-old Joyce Millette against a garage wall.

Miami Township Police Chief Mike Mills said officers were dispatched to a home along Deerhaven Court on June 15 for a dispute between a mother and adult daughter. When officers arrived, they tried to break out the vehicle's windows to free the mother.

Body camera footage shows when two officers were injured while Anna Millette pinned her mother against the wall with a car and then reversed to flee the scene.

The body camera footage begins as officers are yelling at Anna Millette to stop the car, which has its horn blaring. As they're yelling, the officers open the driverside door, and Anna Millette reverses the car at a high speed throwing one officer to the ground. The officers then run toward the car with their guns drawn before the video ends.

A nearby Ring camera on a residence caught ambulances and emergency crews arriving to the scene. About 14 seconds into the video, Anna Millette is captured speeding down the street as she fled the scene. Roughly 25 seconds later, a police squad car is seen pursuing the speeding vehicle.

Mills said the pursuit ended when the daughter crashed on I-275 near Loveland. It's unclear how long the pursuit went on. The officers then had to use a Taser against the daughter before taking her into custody, Mills said.

The two officers who were struck by the vehicle had minor injuries, Mills said.

Joyce Millette died due to her injuries, Mills said.

According to court records, Anna Milette was on probation for a previous felonious assault charge from 2022. Court records show that she was originally charged with two counts of felonious assault, aggravated vehicular assault and leaving the scene of an accident, but the other charges were dismissed. She also has a prior DUI charge from 2022 that was reduced to reckless driving.

On Thursday, a judge ruled that she be taken to a mental health facility. She will be reevaluated in a year.
