ALEXANDRIA, La. (AP) — State Rep. Tommy Wright agreed to resign his seat as part of a plea agreement reached Thursday involving charges Wright and another man were caught in a lewd act in a public bath room.
Wright's resignation is effective Jan. 3, according to a statement from Rapides Parish District Attorney Jim Downs' Office.
Wright was accused of two counts of obscenity in connection with an incident in December of last year, when a park ranger at Buhlow Lake said Wright and Charles Locker II, of Deville, were caught in a compromising position in a park bath room.

Who was going to be "the girl" first?
The linked story DOES mention he's a Dem...in the very last paragraph.
Wright was accused of two counts of obscenity in connection with an incident in December of last year, when a park ranger at Buhlow Lake said Wright and Charles Locker II, of Deville, were caught in a compromising position in a park bath room.
Wright, a Democrat, represents House District 22, which includes areas in LaSalle, Grant, Rapides and Winn parishes.
Who will replace him?
By whatever means necessary ... hoist with his own petard as it were.
I thought the coolification of lewd was completed. Maybe he was caught voting his conscience or something.
It appears that way.
Sounds to me like the guy is ready for federal office
Live boy or dead girl. It looks like he settled for live boy.
LOL! They can't even think of a way to obliquely
describe the "acts", without worrying that they
will be given grief for being "offensive to
public sensabilities".
Another tale of romance and high adventure...
"Brokebutt Wayside"
It's not that cool in his district. Let's just say that it's full of Baptists and Pentecostals.
"Who will replace him?"
If it's the Dems choice they'll probably pick the other guy.
To be real honest, I don't want to know the details. All he had to do was take it to a freaking hotel room in order to not break the law.
George Michael?

State Rep. Tommy Wright, D-Jena, was arrested on an obscenity charge Tuesday and released on $1,500 bond.
Rapides Parish deputies arrested Wright, 48, and Charles Locker II, 32, of Deville after a Buhlow Lake Recreation employee filed a complaint saying he found them having sex Monday in a public restroom at the park.
Tommy Wright in his own words:
"I was in Baton Rouge over the weekend. I drove Monday morning from Baton Rouge to Alexandria, where I had three meetings.
"After the third meeting, I crossed over the O.K. Allen Bridge and needed to go to the restroom. The closest one I could think of was at the Buhlow park area. I went inside the restroom and someone was sitting there, so I just used the urinal. The commode flushed and this guy walked behind me. I couldn't tell you whether he was 25 or 75.
"As he walked past me, behind me, I headed into the stall. As I was dropping my pants down to use the bathroom, the ranger came in. The guy was between me and the ranger.
"The ranger came in and said, 'you guys are under arrest.' I said, 'Arrest?' I proceeded to leave.
"I was stopped by a Rapides Parish sheriff's deputy there near the park. They interviewed us and asked us to come back today. I went back to the Courthouse at 9 a.m. this morning (Tuesday), without an attorney, because I thought it would be resolved.
"As of today, I understand they have had some problems out there, which probably contributed to the ranger's interpretation of what was going on. I think he had a conclusion drawn before he opened the door," Wright said.
"My question is, where would you drop your pants if not in a restroom?
"My attorney told me I should tell the public the same thing I told the Sheriff's Office.
"I regret any embarrassment this misunderstanding may have caused my family, friends or constituents. I look forward to having this matter resolved as soon as possible.
"That which doesn't kill us only tends to make us stronger."
As part of today's plea, both men will receive fines and be put on probation. Wright entered a guilty plea to the charge of flight from an officer. Locker pleaded guilty to criminal mischief.
Maybe this guy......
