Pettit allegedly gave Miller, who had been asking for percs (the painkiller Percocet), pills that instead contained fentanyl, cocaine, and Xanax.
Following his arrest, more details surrounding the case have been revealed including a text message exchange between Pettit and Miller.
Investigators obtained text messages from before the sale, in which Miller proclaims his love for oxycodone and also asks for “bars” of Xanax and a “ball” of cocaine.
MILLER: Yoooo
PETTIT: Yoo what’s up
MILLER: did you hear back bout addy?

PETTIT: I will get back when I’m about to pick them up
The messages continue for a while after that. You can read the full conversation on page 10 of the court papers.
The complaint also details Instagram messages Pettit sent to his friends in the wake of Miller’s death.
“I think I should probably not post anything … just to be smart,” he wrote in one. When someone asked how he is, he responded, “I am not great … Most likely I will die in jail.”
According to TMZ, the complaint says that Pettit is one of three people responsible for Miller’s death.
Petit was taken into custody on Wednesday morning. It is not yet known if the other two undisclosed persons have been charged.
The complaint also refers to a prostitute and a madam who also supplied Miller with the drugs.
The Drug Enforcement Agency said in a statement that Pettit would appear in court later in the day on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.
