Police Say Tabbetha Barner Has ‘an Active Arrest Warrant for Prostitution’
Baton Rouge police detectives “are searching for TABBETHA BARNER and TIFFANY ANN GUIDRY for their involvement in the Nathan Millard missing persons case,” the news release said.
“Barner has an active arrest warrant for Prostitution and Failure to Seek Assistance,” it says. “Guidry has an active arrest warrant for Unlawful Disposal of Human Remains, Prostitution and Failure to Seek Assistance.”
The police news release continued, “Anyone who has information on Barner and Guidry whereabouts are urged to contact the Armed Robbery Division at (225) 389-3866 or Crime Stoppers at (225) 344-7867.”
According to BRProud, Derrick Perkins was previously arrested and accused of dumping Millard’s body.
An arrest warrant obtained by BRProud accuses Perkins of meeting Millard in the early morning hours while he was with two other people.
They asked Perkins for drugs, according to BRProud, and then drove around Baton Rouge “for hours while doing crack cocaine” before going to a gas station.
The news outlet reported that, according to an arrest warrant, Millard obtained cash from an ATM before growing concerned that people might rob him.
Millard told Perkins he wanted a “white girl” and “wanted to go somewhere safe,” BRProud reported, according to the affidavit, and Millard “picked up Tiffany Guidry before Millard said he wanted more ‘white girls.’” That’s when Perkins picked up Barner and brought her to the home as well, the television station reported.
The station reported that Barner told Perkins the next morning that Millard was dead.
