Police report:
On June 20, 2009 I Ranger Brandon Walls was working Deputy Sheriff Jourdan McKay. Around 2230 hours, we received a call from Rabun County Disptach to respond to Earls Ford Road in reference to a complaint of a male subject walking in the road and around a campsite nude. …I observed a male subject sitting nude in a chair in front of his camper/horse trailer. We made contact with the subject who earlier in the day I had identified as Mark Musselwhite. I had spoken with him earlier that date in reference to an ATV he had been riding in the area.
He looked at us and said hello. I asked him what he was doing, he said he was just sitting here and asked if there was a problem. I did notice he was drinking and appeared very intoxicated. I asked why he did not have any clothes on, and he said he was hot and had been in the creek.
At that point he wanted to know why we were there and what he was doing wrong. I advised him that we had gotten complaints about a man walking around nude in the area.
Still nude, he told me that it was not him. …
I told him that he couldn’t do things like that here, it was a public place and children and other campers were present, and people had seen him. He said he didn’t think it was a problem, that nobody could see him. I … asked him if he would do that at Wal-Mart. He said no he wouldn’t.
He became very beligerant [sic] toward us, and began telling me that he knew a DNR board member and he was going to call him, because he thought he was being harassed. …
He continued to argue with me that he did not do anything wrong and he was going to call people he knew, to help him, he also told me that he was the ex-mayor [of] the City of Gainesville and he was a very political person. At this point I told Mr. Musselwhite that he was under arrest…
Mr. Musselwhite was accompanied by a female subject, whose name is unknown at time of report. She said the trailer and truck belonged to her. …
