LAFAYETTE, La. (KALB) – A former employee at Lafayette medical center pled guilty on March 16 to embezzling over $500,000 from her employer to make personal purchases, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Louisiana.
Brooke Miller Duck (formerly Brooke Miller Tauzin), a 31-year-old who lives in Midland, Texas, and previously in Arnaudville, Louisiana, is facing up to 20 years in federal prison for wire fraud.

Keller. “Frauds perpetrated by people like Mrs. Duck erode the trust that our Louisiana small businesses need to perform their critical work, and our Office stands ready to prosecute those abuses.”…
