When officers knocked on the door around 3:30 p.m. Jan. 19 to a mobile home in the first block of Aloha Drive in the Village Community off Dryden Road to arrest Mills for misuse of 911 systems, he reportedly said: “I have a shotgun. I will shoot you,” a Moraine Police Division incident report stated.
The comments led police to request the Kettering Regional SWAT team, which eventually forced entry after Mills did not respond to loudspeaker commands, cellphone calls over a period of several hours and also did not come out when officers threw a gas canister through a window, police said.
Mills, who had barricaded the door from the inside, was taken into custody just before 9:20 p.m. He remains held in the Montgomery County Jail.
