Chris Miller offers free rides to impaired drivers this New Years Eve
by Amber Schmitz, Sumner Newscow — Chris Miller has volunteered himself as a designated driver for those who have had too much alcohol to drink.
“With the holidays and being disabled now because of an amputation of my right leg, I decided that I wanted to be able to help people and make sure they go home to their family safe,” Miller said. “I also wanted to make sure they had a way back to their vehicle the next day.”

Miller believed this was a service that was needed here, since Wellington doesn’t offer a 24 hour cab service.
“It’s not up to the police department to make sure these people get home, so we need somebody, and I volunteered myself,” Miller said.
If you call Miller for a ride, expect him to arrive in a silver Dodge Ram 1500 crew cab pickup. He can accommodate 3-4 passengers at a time.
“If anyone needs a ride in the Wellington area, please call me, I will give you a ride home and then the next day return you to your vehicle, all free of charge,” Miller said.
Miller’s free designated driver service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round. Those wishing to use the service can call Miller at 620-440-9433.
“If I can keep one person from making a fatal mistake, it is worth it,” Miller said.
