According to a police report, Miller pointed a gun at a man and left the hotel. The other man followed Miller and pointed a shotgun at him, police said.
Police said Miller shot the man in the leg and then attempted to flee.
The shooting victim fired multiple shots into Miller's vehicle, according to the report.
McClanahan said police stopped a suspect who was leaving the area in a white truck.
Both Miller and the shooting victim are convicted felons, according to the report.

Police charged Miller with aggravated assault and a felon in possession of a firearm, according to the report.
He was listed on Pulaski County jail's inmate roster Wednesday night.
Shoplifter kicked officer, police say
An Arkansas woman was arrested Tuesday at a Wal-Mart after police say she tried to shoplift items from the store and later kicked an officer, according to the North Little Rock Police Department.
Police say Cassi Kelley, 37, of Carlisle, was observed around 7:10 p.m. taking makeup, a blanket and other items from the Wal-Mart Supercenter at 4450 E. McCain Blvd. without paying. An officer stopped and searched Kelley and wrote in a police report that she had a small baggie with clear rocks inside her purse. Police say Kelley told the officer the rocks were "bath salts" and that they did not belong to her, the report said.
Kelley then began kicking the officer before being placed on the ground until another officer arrived, according to the report. The rocks field-tested positive for cocaine, police said.
Kelley faces charges of theft of property, possession of a controlled substance and refusal to submit, according to the report.
