On the morning of March 8, 2018 the Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) received an Attempt-to-Locate from the Carson City Sheriff’s Office on behalf of the Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC).
The Attempt-to-Locate was for a subject identified as Gregory Mills, who had walked away from the Northern Nevada Correctional Center (NNCC) Work Camp on Snyder Avenue in Carson City.
Mr. Mills was described as wearing the NDOC blue uniform.
NHP Sgt. Bill Murwin was driving westbound on College Parkway approaching the intersection of Research Way around 7:40 a.m. when he observed a male subject matching Mills’ description standing on the sidewalk near the Maverik gas station.
As Sgt. Murwin made a u-turn, he noticed that the subject was gone. Sgt. Murwin turned northbound onto Research Way and noticed a subject wearing a light blue shirt and blue jeans walking on Research Way towards Old Hot Springs Road.
As Sergeant Murwin got closer to the subject, he observed that the description provided by Nevada Department of Public Safety (DPS) Dispatch matched the description of the subject he observed standing at the Maverik gas station moments earlier.
Sgt. Murwin reached the intersection of Research Way and Old Hot Springs Road when he stopped his patrol vehicle and made contact with the subject.
The subject did not have any identification, and provided Sgt. Murwin with a false name and date of birth.
Multiple law enforcement officers from various agencies responded to Sgt. Murwin’s location shortly thereafter.
NDOC personnel arrived and confirmed that the subject detained by Sgt. Murwin was, in fact, 27 year-old NNCC inmate Gregory Mills, who had walked away from the work camp.
Mills was taken into custody by NDOC personnel and returned to NNCC.
