It started with stolen guitars, and it ended with a young man who needed a ride.
A deputy from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call 4 a.m. Feb. 29, about a juvenile needing a ride home from a drug store on Palm Coast Parkway. The 15-year-old identified himself as Darrin Cummings and directed the deputy to a home in the B-section.
Upon arriving at the home, the deputy was told by an adult that the young man was not Darrin Cummings, and that he did not live at that address. The adult then brought the deputy to the correct address, where the deputy met Jenkins Mills.
Mills said the young man was her son, Edgar Joshua Mills III.
The deputy conducted an investigation and discovered Edgar was wanted for questioning in a burglary in which the suspect had cut himself on broken glass in his attempts to enter a home. In that incident, the suspect stole several items, including four guitars and a 90cc dirt bike.
The deputy noted that Edgar Joshua Mills III had a cut on his hand that was consistent with the injury described in the burglary case notes. He asked Mills what happened to his hand, and he replied that he had cut it while cutting an onion earlier in the day.
The deputy suggested that the wound appeared to be several days old, and Mills then refused to answer any more questions. He was put under arrest for burglary due to past information obtained in the investigation of the burglary, which took place Feb. 26, at the home of one of Mills’ schoolmates.
Mills was also charged for providing a false name to law enforcement during an investigation.
(State law allows name the name of a minor to be released if he is charged with a felony.)
