Popular TikTok creator Terryon Thomas, known as Mr Prada to nearly 4 million followers, has been arrested on suspicion of aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, issued a warrant for Thomas’ arrest Tuesday after, officials say, he refused to comply with officers during a traffic stop, according to an affidavit filed Tuesday. The arrest warrant claims that the vehicle Thomas was driving was reported stolen and that Thomas backed into the officers’ car and fled.
Thomas was arrested in Dallas and awaits extradition to Baton Rouge.
On the day the arrest warrant was issued, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office in Louisiana posted on Facebook describing an identical traffic stop incident, along with photos of a person of interest, who it said was the last person believed to have driven a stolen vehicle in the described incident. The post did not name Thomas; it asked for more information about the person in the photos.
The Facebook post said the stolen vehicle used in the incident is believed to belong to therapist William Nicholas Abraham, 69, whose body was found wrapped in a tarp on the side of a highway Sunday.
