PC Mills PC Mills dealt with Ken and Leanne Barlow when they reported a drunken Peter Barlow missing in July 2012 . She took a description and worried the two when she heard that Peter had tattoos and left the office to make a check . Returning , she told them that a dead man had been found that morning who was of a similar description . She took the two to a mortuary where they inspected the body , only to find that it wasn ’ t Peter . Six months later she conducted enquiries in Coronation Street after Kirsty Soames fell downstairs in a row with Tyrone Dobbs and claimed that he had pushed her . She interviewed Eileen Grimshaw and Deirdre Barlow who both gave evidence that seemed to back up Kirsty ’ s lies . In July of the same year , she conducted a search of Nick ' s Bistro with colleague PC Burke after receiving an anonymous tip - off that drug dealing was taking place on the establishment ' s first student night . In truth , the call had been made by David Platt who had discovered that his wife Kylie and half - brother and bistro co - owner Nick Tilsley had had a Christmas Day fling and was out for his revenge . No drugs were found but the damage was done as " Weatherfield Gazette " journalist Naila was on the premises and wrote up a damaging story for the paper . On Christmas Day , Mills and a male colleague were on duty when they witnessed a scuffle between a drunken Kylie Platt and Rovers ' barmaid Tina McIntyre . Kylie had just been barred from the pub by landlady Liz McDonald for taunting Tina about being dumped by Tommy Duckworth . As she was escorted off the premises , Kylie made a pass at Rob Donovan and proceeded to attack Tina when she turned the tables were turned and taunted Kylie about sleeping with both David and Nick . The officer arrested Kylie on suspicion of assault and she spent the night in police custody , but was subsequently released without charge . In January 2015 , Mills and a colleague located Steve McDonald and Michelle Connor after he wandered off from the scene of an accident . Steve was driving the minibus taking Carla Connor and the Underworld staff to an award ceremony at the Marbury Hall Hotel , but he lost control of the vehicle as it flipped off the road when he had to swerve to avoid ploughing into a car containing boy racers . The officers needed to interview Steve about the accident and followed the casualties to a local hospital . However while he was giving his statement , Steve suffered a panic attack and medical staff were called to intervene . In May of the same year , she held back the crowds from the burning Victoria Court site but Maddie Heath slipped under the tape when her back was turned and was injured when a secondary explosion occurred in the Builder ' s Yard . Two months later , she was with a group of officers that conducted a raid on the Dog & Gun where Bethany Platt was drinking with Callum and Gemma Winter . Callum had only just given Bethany a packet of drugs to deliver and she managed to pass it to Gemma . When she tried to go to the toilets alone , PC Hall , leading the raid , insisted that another officer accompanied her . Mills was the one who did so and Gemma was duly arrested and let off with a caution . In April 2016 she called at 11 Coronation Street with another officer and broke the shocking news to Eileen Grimshaw that her ex , and Jason ' s father , Tony Stewart , had been found dead in his flat by his work colleagues , having lain for three days undiscovered following a heart attack .
