Prosecution presents its case
Mills tape entered into evidence

GLASGOW

Taped statements made by an Indiana man charged with the death of a Glasgow Daily Times newspaper carrier were played for the jury on the opening day of trial Thursday.

David Mills, 40, faces one count each of murder by use of a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident, theft by unlawful taking (motor vehicle), second-degree assault and operating a motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration at or above the legal limit.

The charges stem from a Sept. 3, 2006, incident where David Huff, 39, of Tompkins-ville, an independent contractor who delivered the Daily Times for eight years, was killed when his vehicle was struck head-on by a vehicle driven by Mills on Mill Creek Road in Tompkinsville.

A passenger in Huff’s car, Terry Kelsay, was treated for minor injuries he sustained.

Mills’ statements were made on Sept. 5, soon after his apprehension in Tomp-kinsville following an anonymous tip. Kentucky State Police Trooper Michael Dubre, who investigated the case, was present during the recorded interview, as was Deputy Lucas Geralds of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department.

The trooper was on the witness stand as the commonwealth played the recorded questioning.

On the tape, Dubre was heard advising Mills of his rights before making any statements.

The jury listened as Mills told the law enforcement officers he took a 1996 green Ford Taurus from the parking lot of Freedom Church No. 2 in Barren County in late July 2006. The keys were left inside the vehicle.

Commonwealth attorney Jesse Stockton Jr.’s first witness, Valerie Copass, of Monroe County, testified that she attended a church revival at Freedom No. 2 on July 25, 2006.

Left in a parking space outside of the church was her 1996 green Ford Taurus with the keys in the ashtray.

“When I came out, the car was gone,” Copass told the jury.

Mills’ statements to Dubre also included saying he was involved in an accident on Sept. 3 at 2:30 a.m. on Mill Creek Road while he was driving the Taurus.

He also admitted on tape to drinking roughly six beers during the day on Sept. 2, but said he did not have any drinks that evening.

Once he left the scene on foot, Mills told Dubre and Geralds he caught a ride down to his sister’s home in Moss, Tenn., before coming back to Tompkinsville and hiding out in an abandoned trailer behind his mother’s residence, where authorities found him on Sept. 5.

During cross examination by defense attorney Paul Vanni, Dubre reiterated that Mills said he had not had anything to drink that night, but had during the day of Sept. 2.
