The media initially had the wrong person identity and so this happened.
Verrett, who is married, was originally booked into jail under her maiden name Domangue.
This sparked confusion with an art teacher in the same parish named Heidi Marie Domangue, who had to speak out on social media to defend her reputation.
The situation was exacerbated when the New York-based gossip site Scalawag and Vagabond mistakenly posted photos of the art teacher with a story about Verrett’s arrest.
‘I’ve known my whole life there was another name exactly as mine in this parish as I would need records with hospitals and government stuff,’ Domangue, the art teacher, wrote on Facebook at the time.
‘I always thought it would be cool to actually meet her. Well not anymore.’
Wow, flip the page for news video of the story.
