Grand Prairie woman arrested

Weatherford Parker County Special Crimes investigators arrested a Grand Prairie woman July 12, charging her with delivery of a controlled substance.

Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said that Teresa Collins Milligan, 48, was the subject of an under cover drug buy. He added that SCU investigators conducted surveillance on Milligan for some time before the arrest.

According to Lt. Mike Camp, investigators arranged to purchase $1,250 worth of pharmaceutical drugs from the suspect, along with a small quantity of crack cocaine, at about 8 p.m. in the 5000 block of Interstate 20 in Parker County. Once the transaction was made, SCU and fugitive unit investigators moved in to make the arrest. A passenger in the suspect’s vehicle, who had a 2-year-old child, was detained. The female passenger was not taken into custody; but charges are expected to be filed against her as well.

According to Camp, investigators seized about 180 pills suspected to be Vicadin, Hydrocodone and Xanex, as well as a small quantity of suspected crack cocaine. Milligan was taken to the Parker County Justice Center, where she was booked with bail set at $25,000.

Milligan is charged with possession with intent to deliver controlled substance pharmaceuticals under 200 grams and possession with intent to deliver controlled substance (cocaine) under 1 gram.

Drug exhibits were submitted to the crime lab and the cases referred to the Grand Jury.
