DA Warren Montgomery reports that this week a St. Tammany Parish jury found Paul Darby, 30 of Mandeville, guilty of obscenity.
In December of 2019, a citizen reported to police that she saw Darby in the Northlake Nature Center off of Hwy 190 in Mandeville, sitting on the tailgate of his parked truck, facing traffic, engaged in a lewd act.
When police arrived Darby was nude from the waist down. Inside his vehicle, sitting on top of the pants, was a meth pipe and a lighter.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Iain Dover and Patricia Amos.
Darby faces up to 3 years in prison when sentenced on September 23, 2021.
