(PRWEB) April 12, 2005 — Rick Mills, President and CEO of I.F.R.S. Group, Inc a California Licensed Private Investigation Agency, received the Garden Grove Police Associations Citizen of the Year Award at an awards banquet held in Garden Grove California on Saturday April 09, 2005.
Rick Mills was nominated by Detective John Gatine of the Garden Grove Police Department for his assistance in locating one of Garden Grove’s most wanted, Edward Chapin, \”The Wizard\”, in Mexico.
Edward Chapin, a major methamphetamine manufacturer in the Garden Grove area, had fled to Mexico after being released on $100,000.00 surety bond. After months of investigation, which included investigating erroneous reports of Edward Chapin having been killed by the drug cartel in Mexico, I.F.R.S. Group, Inc and its lead investigator, Rick Mills, positively located Edward Chapin deep in Mexico where he was manufacturing methamphetamine and reportedly teaching others how to manufacture it. This information was passed on by Rick Mills to Detective Gatine and the F.B.I.
Edward Chapin was finally deported by the Mexican authorities and arrested at the border by the Border Patrol. He is currently in custody in Orange County Jail and his trial is set to begin in May 2005.
\”If it was not for Rick Mills, Eddie Chapin would still be in Mexico\”, said Detective John Gatine.
