Misty Clanton Roberts, the former president of DeRidder, Louisiana, was arrested on charges of third-degree murder and contributing to the crime of a infantile. Her unanticipated departure from her job just one week earlier led to her arrest. Louisiana State Police apprehended Roberts, 42, on Thursday, and she was eventually released from the Beauregard Parish jail after posting a$ 75, 000 connection.
Roberts is accused of having sexual relationships with a slight and serving as president, according to the allegations. According to Sgt. Ross Brennan, a state police official, the alleged immature target, along with another juvenile, reported the incident to the state officer’s Special Victims System. Brennan did not disclose the age, sex, or home of the alleged patients.
Following a prior notice to Council Clerk Glenna Luther that included a planned two-week vacation and appointing Fire Chief Ken Harlow as acting governor in her presence, Roberts resigned on July 27 and wrote to the city council.
Adam Johnson, Roberts ‘ lawyer, stated to KPLC-TV that his client maintains her ignorance.
” She has not been charged with a violence and/or convicted of any crime”, Johnson said. We firmly believe that the general public will respect our country’s basic system of justice, which precludes her from doing so. We look forward to putting this terrible situation behind them and wish them well for the support they have received from their friends and neighbors.
Roberts, an independent, made record as the first person to be president of DeRidder in 2018. In 2022, she was re-elected for a minute word.
