Roberts resigned as DeRidder’s mayor one day after authorities began investigating a complaint that she had raped a minor. Her resignation letter omitted any mention of that investigation.

She later made $75,000 bail to await her trial from out of custody.

Misty Roberts in 2018 made history by becoming the first woman ever elected as mayor of DeRidder. She won a second four-year term in 2022.

It is when you start having kids in high school. My aunt became a grandmother at 36. If she'd lived longer she would have been a great grandmother in her 50s.
