Prior to being arrested, Mills had been evading the police for nearly five years.

In one incident in 2010, Mills was driving a stolen truck containing meth lab component and ammunition while being chased by the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department.

During the chase, Mills crashed and fled on foot.

Shortly thereafter, Mills was found in a second stolen vehicle but evaded capture once again, leaving behind a.38-caliber pistol.

In 2014, County Sheriff’s deputies went to Mills' home in search of a stolen truck.

Mills arrived at his house shortly after the police reached his home and attempted to drive away with deputies clinging to the vehicle.

After one of the deputies removed the keys, Mills ran off.

However, Mills returned to the scene and threatened to shoot the deputies, shouting "I'm going to shoot you," while pulling a pistol out of his pocket.

Mills was quickly apprehended and was discovered to be in possession of meth paraphernalia and a plastic bag containing pseudoephedrine pills.
