according to this Anchorage Daily News story, and Miller is caught in a big fat lie about whether or not "private security" was required by the school where the 'arrest' of the journalist took place:

Miller gave interviews to Fox and CNN on Monday. He told Fox, "I might also note that the middle school itself required us by a contract for a campaign, required us to have a security team." He told CNN, "There was a -- a private security team that was required. We had to hire them because the school required that as a term in their lease."
But district spokeswoman Heidi Embley said that wasn't true.
"We do not require users to hire security," she said. Renters must only have a security plan to protect users and the school itself, she said, and can resolve the issues with "monitors."
The contract the district has renters sign requires groups to make an "expectation speech" at the beginning of an event reminding people to be respectful, to park properly, and to remain only in permitted areas. That did not happen Sunday.
In a statement issued Monday, the campaign appeared to back off from Miller's assertions that a security team was required by the district.
"Per the 'Facility Rental Security Plan Requirement,' the Miller campaign hired security to monitor the event," the statement said. "One of the purposes of the security personnel was to enforce the Anchorage School District requirement of 'no disruptive behavior' at events within the facility. The security personnel made the determination that the man in question was being disruptive by his actions towards Joe and by pushing someone attending the event into a locker and enforced the rule."
