US Attorney Declined Warrant in Mills Case
Police in Washington D.C. sought an arrest warrant for an individual named Mills, but then-U.S. Attorney Ed Martin declined to sign it. This decision followed a change in the accuser's account after speaking with Mills, and an internal investigation into the officers' actions. The United States attorney for DC, Ed Martin, declined to issue a warrant for Congressman Mills. A police supervisor reportedly overrode an officer who spoke to Mills' accuser and wanted to pursue an arrest. Interim DC police chief Jeffrey Carroll stated the department is reviewing the events of that night. Carroll believes that if probable cause exists for a domestic offense, an arrest should be made.
