One of Mills’ former reps, Elyah Dolan, told Heavy that she had not heard from the actor since 2018, when he returned to Kentucky to ‘address issues unrelated to the entertainment industry’.
‘I knew him as a talented actor and horseman with that classic southern hospitality and charm. May he rest in peace,’ she stated.
She did not elaborate on the ‘issues’ Mills was seeking to address, but the actor was frequently in trouble with the law.
Records from the Graves County Jail website show he was arrested for a DUI in 2016, wanton endangerment in 2017, and second degree assault in 2018.
