Arkansas Weatherman: After Night of Drugs, Alcohol Brett Cummins Wakes in Tub With Corpse
Authorities are still trying to make sense of what happened to an Arkansas man who was found dead in a bathtub beside sleeping weatherman Brett Cummins.
Reports are that Christopher Barbour, a friend of the 33-year-old KARK weatherman, woke up Monday morning to find Cummins in his bathtub with a dead man, 24-year-old Dexter Williams, wearing a dog collar lying next to him.
No charges have been filed against Cummins or Barbour.
But Maumelle Police spokesman Lt. Jim Hansard told The Associated Press on Wednesday that authorities have interviewed Cummins multiple times since he was found asleep in a hot tub on Monday morning.
According to a police report Barbour said all three began to drink and use illegal narcotics.
Mr. Barbour stated that he was not sure of the drugs that they were using but that they were snorting them, Officer Gergory Roussie wrote in his report of the scene, which was reviewed by the media.
He also said that they drank alcohol in a hot tub.
Barbour added that around 11 p.m., he left the other two men in the jacuzzi and went to sleep on the couch. When he woke up at 8 a.m. the next morning, he found his bed still made and the two men in a bathtub with no water in it.
Barbour began to clean up glassware from the previous night and woke Cummins up. That was when they realized Williams was unconscious and looked discolored.
Brett screamed and became ill and left the bathroom and vomited on the carpet in the living room, Roussie wrote in the police report, according to ABC News. Cummins left the house but eventually came back to give a police statement.
