Multiple Disorderly Conduct Arrests

During the first two weeks of October, rangers made 20 arrests while conducting four separate plainclothes operations in the Ridgeland and Tupelo Districts in an effort to deter disorderly conduct violations. These operations targeted public sexual misconduct, solicitation and indecent exposure incidents that were known to be occurring at several parkway sites and trails. Several people were also charged with drug offenses. Other districts participated by providing personnel. Additional support was provided by the Lee County (Mississippi) Sheriff’s Department.
