The owner of a Chattanooga pest control company is headed to court next month to face charges of aggravated assault because, police say, he pulled a gun on his daughter during a family dispute.
Jody Millard, 57, began arguing with his daughter, Jodie Annette Millard-Radar, when she came by the Jody Millard Pest Control office to pick up a check on Sept. 28, police records show. Millard had fired his daughter and her husband, Joe, the day before, records show.
“Jodie went in to pick up the check from her father, and as she was walking out her father asked if she wanted to talk. She replied, ‘Not really if [you’re] going to still lie,'” according to the affidavit. “She told him she wasn’t going to listen to his lies any longer.”
Millard, who is set to appear in court on Nov. 1, refused to comment on his charges. His attorney, David Higney, could not be reached for comment.
Millard posted a $10,000 bond the day after his arrest.
