Mills was arrested January 18 after being involved in a five-hour long standoff with officers.

The standoff began after officers attempted to arrest Mills on an outstanding warrant and he threatened officers with a shotgun, according to Moraine police Sgt. Andrew Parish. This led to Kettering Regional SWAT being called to the scene on Aloha Drive.
