Police in Louisiana have arrested an alleged prostitute and are looking for another in connection with the overdose death of Nathan Millard — as it emerged that the Georgia dad of five was possibly given “bad drugs” as part of a scheme.
Tiffany Guidry, who was wanted on suspicion of unlawful disposal of human remains, prostitution and failure to seek assistance, was arrested early Friday by Baton Rouge police, WBRZ reported.
Authorities are still searching for Tabbetha Barner, who is wanted on suspicion of prostitution and failure to seek assistance.
Millard, 42, was discovered wrapped in plastic and rolled up in a carpet two weeks after he was reported missing on Feb. 23.
The two women were allegedly present when Millard OD’d in a rundown drug house while in the city to stake out a prospective gig for his construction company.
Their arrest warrants were filed after investigators interviewed alleged drug dealer Derrick “Stanka” Perkins, 45, who has been charged with improperly disposing of Millard’s body in a lot along Scenic Highway.
Perkins told detectives he had picked up Millard and two other people who were looking for drugs early Feb. 23 and that they drove around in his car for hours “getting high” on crack cocaine, according to documents cited by the outlet.
Perkins said Millard and the two people went inside a gas station to get cash from an ATM but the Georgia dad returned to the car and asked him to take him elsewhere because he feared the others were trying to “set him up to rob him.”
He claimed Millard told him he wanted “white girls,” so they picked up Guidry and Barner, who he claimed began shooting up drugs with the Georgia man at a house on Lorri Burgess Avenue.
“They were all up in there doing that s—. I don’t f— with that s—,” Perkins reportedly told investigators, referring to using syringes.
He said the three then asked him to pick up various items from a nearby store using Millard’s debit card, which he told him to run as credit.
Perkins told detectives he later smoked crack outside while he waited for Millard and the women to finish having sex.
He said Barner asked him to get more drugs in the morning and that when he returned, she ran out of the house saying that Millard was dead.
Perkins said Barner went to get Narcan, a drug used to reverse overdoses, and tried to use it on Millard. They also tried to revive Millard with CPR before the women told him he had to “get rid of the body,” documents cited by WBRZ state.
The alleged drug dealer said he “panicked” and had Guidry help him roll up Millard in a rug, which they loaded into the car and later dumped at the vacant lot on Scenic Highway.
Millard’s remains were discovered on March 6.
Perkins admitted he sold his car to some men in the Dixie neighborhood and blamed them for torching the vehicle, which was later found.
Barner claimed she had never met Millard and that Perkins showed up at her home seeking Narcan, adding that she later saw him using Millard’s card at a convenience store on Highland Road.
News about the two alleged prostitutes comes after WBRZ reported that Millard’s wife, Amber, received a chilling phone call on March 6 that he was possibly given “bad drugs” in an alleged scheme by Perkins to claim a reward for finding the body.
The caller, believed to be a woman, claimed Perkins initially dumped the body at another location but when he learned a reward was being offered, he asked someone to help him move the remains to the vacant lot.
Perkins was initially charged with damage to property, access device fraud and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Millard reportedly refused help from a security guard at a Greyhound bus station, telling him he was looking for “something to make him feel better,” WBRZ reported.
He had left a bar where he was cut off for allegedly having too much to drink, and also told the guard he wanted “a girl to take back to his room.”
Perkins allegedly wrapped Millard’s body up and put it in the trunk of his Toyota sedan, leaving it there for days until the “odor got too bad.”
He then spray-painted his bumper, removed a rear bumper sticker and swapped the license plate in an effort to “disguise” it when news about Millard’s disappearance “gained national attention,” officials said.
He is survived by Amber, their 7-year-old daughter, two teenage sons from a previous marriage and two teenage stepsons.
An official cause of death is pending a toxicology report.
