Deputy Fired for Allegedly Going Topless

A Garland County sheriff's deputy has been fired and charged with misdemeanors for allegedly going topless at a campground at Lake Ouachita.

Dawn Rene Roberson, 38, of Royal was terminated Wednesday after she turned herself in on misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure and disorderly conduct.

Incident reports show that marine patrol Deputy John Tinney on Sunday spotted Roberson riding on the bow of a boat with her top off. Tinney told her to cover up and not ride on the bow, letting her off with a verbal warning.

Later Sunday near Crystal Springs Campground, Army Corps of Engineers Park Ranger Rebecca McDaniel responded to a complaint and found Roberson sitting on a boat, topless talking to other people at a campsite.

McDaniel told Roberson to put on a shirt but Roberson "half-heartedly pulled at her top" and then left the scene, the report said.

A short time later, Tinney responded to a complaint that a woman was without a top in view of children. The report said a grandmother complained that the topless woman became "loud and disorderly" after she told the woman to cover up. Another camper also complained to authorities, saying the woman became belligerent when confronted. In both instances, the topless woman said she was a law officer, according to the reports.

The next day, one of the people who complained was shown a photo of members of the jail staff. She picked Roberson out of the photo, officials said.

Roberson has a July 18 appearance set in Hot Springs District Court. She could face up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine on the exposure charge and up to 30 days in jail and a $100 fine on the disorderly conduct charge.

How ridiculous. Like kids are going to be traumatized by droopy breasts. Here we live in an age whre kids are listening to Madonna, Brit spears, worship that whore Paris Hilton, play violent video games, and we are still worried about exposed female breasts.

This story is in sfgate.com, which means the lady was probably a bull-dyke.

I would assume there is probably a very good reason for NO pictures!

[art_rocks]

So she gets fired for this. Compared to the other cases where cops can't fired for major offensives, this seems minor.

[MarkeyD]

Don't blame me, you asked.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

[Dog Gone]

The story took place in Arkansas.

[don-o]

That's a man, baby. Thanks fer nothing.

[eastforker]

Well, breast are not sex organs and if men can go bare chested than women should be able also without the law getting involved.

[bannie]

That couldn't be comfortable.

[edpc]

Yikes!! Be careful what you wish for when you ask for pics....

[digger48]

The story took place in Arkansas.

Oops, musta been these two boobs then

[bannie]

She's only 38?

[SFC Chromey]

Yea, but when SF Gate carries a story like this the lezzies that run the paper would have put a hotties picture up.

[edpc]

Well, breast are not sex organs.....

Especially hers....they're more like birth control devices.

[pax_et_bonum]

[MarkeyD]

Rode hard and put away wet.

[bannie]

Makes no sense!!!

[Blueflag]

If a woman can hang her a$$ out in a thong, and uncover everything but her nipples and her vulva/labia ...

Is that what you mean is decent?

Just acsking

[MAD-AS-HELL]

I think this was where she was where she went topless

[freepatriot32]

Libertarian ping.To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here

[al baby]

Mommy what's a vulva/labia?

[eastforker]

No ,but being topless should not be sexist. As you said, a thyong reveals a lot more but is still legal.

[Right Brother]

I'll see yours and raise you 2:

[eastforker]

And BTW, we see naked animals everyday, whats the big deal about a naked human.

[al baby]

[MarkeyD]

That ain't right!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

HEY FOLKS! That is ARKANSAW, not Kali!

[highlander_UW]

Is that Monica Lewinsky?

[MAD-AS-HELL]

Oh yeah! I'll see your two and raise you...uh...hmmm where did they go???

[al baby]

no butt i would rather clean up after a german shephard

[MAD-AS-HELL]

[eastforker]

Wrong, nudity does not equal sexual content. Everything you listed is a crime, I don't think the bare breast of a woman are unless she is teasing some kid to have sex with her.

[CzarNicky]

Whoever shout the sheriff but did not shot the deputy is probably kicking themselves right now.

[BenLurkin]

[org.whodat]
