A scandal has rocked the small town of DeRidder, Louisiana, as its Mayor, Misty Dawn Clanton Roberts, was accused of a serious crime and abruptly resigned. The allegations have shocked the local community and drawn significant media attention.
Roberts' resignation was both sudden and unexpected. She stepped down informally last Saturday, just two days after notifying the city council that she would be 'out of the city' for a few weeks. Although she sent a resignation letter, as of last week, the secretary of state had yet to receive a signed and notarized copy to make her resignation official, according to reports.
