Mills is an ex-convict who has "served time in prison for armed robbery, writing bad checks and many drug and alcohol-related charges," reported the Times-Leader (Pennsylvania). Despite his repeated stints in prison, Mills is still in the crime game. In February, Mills was charged with burglary, receiving stolen property, and criminal trespass. Though he was a repeat offender, he was allowed to post bond and was released from prison. While out on bond on April 27, Mills used an as-yet-unregulated dangerous weapon, a crowbar, to break into a house in the city of Wilkes-Barre at 7 p.m. Once inside the house, he took a samurai sword off a wall and used it to threaten the two men and a woman who were there, intending to rob them. The men ran from the house; the woman drew a gun and shot Mills in the leg. Because of Mills' latest arrest, his bond for the earlier charges was revoked, but Assistant District Attorney Tim Doherty indicated that there was a possibility that depending on the outcome of that case, Mills may again have the opportunity to post bond while awaiting trial for his latest crime. The woman had a permit for the gun she used to shoot Mills and will not face charges. |
