His brother, Sam, was indicted last year in the same case, said Detective Letha DeCaires, and is under arrest in San Francisco.
The Millers allegedly took the money from a couple for home and roof repairs, but the work performed ended up ruining the home, DeCaires said.
Efram Miller, 40, frequents Hawai'i and is believed to be on O'ahu, police said. He is described as being 5 feet 6 and 150 pounds. Police said he has a medium build, dark brown hair, brown eyes and a mustache.
