Alan Moran was serving his second term as a city councilman in Diamondhead, Mississippi, when he was appointed mayor pro tempore in July 2021. He seemed to following his father’s career. His father is State Senate Phillip Moran.

Then he was arrested and charged with two misdemeanors, simple assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This seems inadequate to the circumstances. Even Moran remarked at the time, “That’s it?”
