A DoorDash delivery driver has testified in court, revealing he delivered Plan B to the residence of a former Louisiana mayor. This comes after allegations surfaced that she engaged in sexual activity with one of her son’s friends during a party where alcohol was present.
Misty Roberts, who held the position of mayor in DeRidder at the time of the alleged events, is now facing a trial on felony charges, including carnal knowledge of a juvenile and indecent behavior with a minor. Prosecutors claim the incident occurred during a house party in July 2024, as reported by The Advocate. Roberts has entered a plea of not guilty to all accusations.
On February 27, DoorDash driver Paul Smith testified that he delivered an emergency contraceptive to Roberts’ home, specifying the order was for someone named Misty.
Smith recounted to the jury that he recognized the house from past visits during Halloween trick-or-treating with his children. His suspicions were piqued upon learning of Roberts’ arrest and the allegations of her involvement with the teenager, leading him to connect the delivery with the purported incident.
Misty Roberts’ Son and Nephew Testify During Trial
The trial’s first day also included testimonies from Roberts’ son and nephew, both attendees at the party, along with statements from two child advocacy interviewers who had spoken with the teenagers following the event.
Roberts’ son told interviewer Patra Minix in a March 20, 2025 interview played for the jury that his mother had thrown him a pool party to celebrate his birthday, even purchasing alcohol for his friends.
During the party, he said, Roberts had gone upstairs with one of his friends. When he went to see what they were doing, he told the interviewer that he found them together.
“They were—just, like—they were having sex,” he said at the time, per The Advocate.
He alleged in the interview that his mother had been drunk and later didn’t remember what happened.
Text messages read in court, according to KPLC, also showed that Roberts’ son had texted her during the evening telling her that her behavior was crazy and upsetting his sister.
When cross-examined on the stand by defense attorney Adam Johnson, he told the court that he couldn’t be sure what he saw that night but in his “human mind” it looked like they were having sex, The Advocated reported.
Meanwhile, Roberts’ nephew told the court that he had used his phone’s camera to try to see what was happening in the room with the alleged victim—who had been 16 years old at the time of the alleged incident—and Roberts. Although he couldn’t remember if he hit“record,” he said he never sent the video to anyone and later wiped his Snapchat memories.
When questioned by the defense, he said he had wiped the Snapchat history because he didn’t want investigators to see him and his friends participating in underage drinking, the outlet reported.
The court also heard text messages that Roberts and her nephew had allegedly sent to one another in which he told her that he’d always support her.
“That shouldn’t have happened,” Roberts wrote to him at one point, per The Advocate. “I’m scared to death.”
Roberts’ defense attorney pointed out that she never admitted to having sex in the messages.
Her daughter also took the stand to testify as her own interview with the child advocates was played. She told the interviewer that she’d seen her mother and the victim “on top of each other” that night, per KPLC.
Misty Roberts’ Best Friend Describes Night of “Chaos”
The mother of Roberts’ nephew, Jill Weaver—who also identified herself as Roberts’ best friend—testified that in the aftermath of the incident she had texted her son and told him to “lie ’til you die” about what he’d seen that night, The Beauregard News reported.
Weaver went to Roberts’ home that night after getting concerning text messages from her son that Roberts was “ranting and raving” and said she arrived to find Roberts’ in a fight with Roberts’ son. She alleged they were arguing because Roberts had “effed his best friend.”
“That whole night was a lot,” Weaver said on the stand, per The Beauregard News. “It was chaos.”
At one point, Weaver testified, Roberts threatened to harm herself. After finding a gun in the home, they unloaded it and put it inside a vehicle so that Roberts didn’t have access to it and Weaver said she told the teens to “not talk about” what had happened that night.
After an investigation into the night was launched, Roberts turned herself in on Aug. 1, 2024 and was initially arrested on charges of charges of third-degree rape and contributing to the delinquency of juveniles, according to an earlier statement from the Louisiana State Police.
Although an initial trial began last month, the original indictment was thrown out and a mistrial was declared before Roberts was re-indicted on the current charges against her, according to The Advocate.
