She asked to remain anonymous about the traumatic incident that has left her struggling with depression, nightmares and even costing the woman her job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The incident happened in June 2024, not long after the woman moved to Houston from a different state. Mills allegedly pulled the woman over unlawfully while she was stopped at a red light on Ella Boulevard, talking on the phone with her boss.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cHe\u2019s just tapping his hand like, \u2018Hey, pull over.\u2019 He didn\u2019t turn on his lights or anything, but I just saw \u2018police\u2019 on the side of the car,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Mills was wearing a full uniform and driving a black SUV with \u201cPolice\u201d generically written on the side.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">To avoid trouble, the woman pulled into a Family Dollar parking lot, where Mills began a sexually charged conversation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cHe was like, \u2018Hey, do you know why you got pulled over, young lady?\u2019 And I was like, \u2018No.\u2019 He was like, \u2018You wish it was a white cop that pulled you over today.\u2019 He asked me, \u2018Do you think I\u2019m the devil or the angel?\u2019\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The woman said Mills touched her lashes and the side of her neck near a tattoo, then asked if she liked to be penetrated. The conversation turned vulgar as Mills asked her about sexual acts and to expose her breast, promising to let her go if she complied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cI won\u2019t give you a ticket today, just take my number. If you take my number, talk to me on your way to work and I\u2019ll let you go,\u201d Mills allegedly said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The woman took his number but called the police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">FLOCK cameras linked Mills and his vehicle to the incident. Houston Police learned Mills was a City of Prairie View officer but was outside his jurisdiction at the time of the stop. He was questioned a year later and denied remembering the incident, stating, \u201cI don\u2019t pull people over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Since then, Mills worked as a reserve deputy at the San Jacinto County Sheriff\u2019s Office but was let go after the investigation came to light.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Mills was arrested on Monday and is now charged with official oppression, a misdemeanor. He made his $100 dollar bond. Corley called him to get his side of the story, but he did not answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">When asked about the incident, the woman said, \u201cI\u2019m a Black girl, and he\u2019s a Black officer, so it makes me feel bad about myself because why would a Black officer want to pull me over and harass me? You shouldn\u2019t want to do that. Out of everybody, you should want to be there for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">She hopes Mills will be held accountable, whether that means losing his TCOLE license, upgrading charges or jail time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The City of Prairie View police told KPRC 2 News that Mills was dismissed in January 2025, but the police chief was not informed of the reasons. The San Jacinto County Sheriff\u2019s Office said Prairie View Police did not inform them of the investigation during the hiring process.<\/p>\n<p>Breaking News Alerts<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 kiwhtN\">More Stories Like This In Our Email Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 by KPRC Click2Houston &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas \u2013 A woman is speaking out after experiencing an alleged sexually charged traffic stop by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":161116,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[294,56,58,57,38675,66078,66077],"class_list":{"0":"post-161115","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-crime","9":"tag-houston","10":"tag-houston-headlines","11":"tag-houston-news","12":"tag-kprc","13":"tag-only-on-2","14":"tag-prairie-view"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161115\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
