Former DeRidder Mayor Misty Roberts was sentenced to 90 days in jail for engaging in sexual relations with her son's 16-year-old companion at a 2024 party.

The judge suspended a five-year prison sentence, but mandated that Roberts serve 90 days in the parish jail and pay a fine of $5,000.

Roberts was also required to refrain from using drugs and alcohol, undergo random drug screenings, and avoid contact with the victim and his family.

She will face a 10-year prison sentence if she breaches any of the conditions of a five-year probation.
