Naked Man At Lake Lanier Attacks Officers: Police

BUFORD, GA — A man who fellow patrons at Lake Lanier said had been walking around publicly nude was arrested after attacking a pair of sheriff's deputies, authorities say.

Jeffery Lynn Everett, 52, of Jefferson, is charged with two counts of felony obstruction and indecent exposure, among other charges, in the Friday incident.

According to the Hall County Sheriff's Office, Everett refused to leave the Lanier Islands campground after security had asked him.

When sheriff's deputies arrived, Everett first gave them a fake name, according to a news release. He then allegedly attempted to strike a deputy, before running into the lake and refusing to come out.

He also tried to injure another deputy who went into the water trying to arrest him, the sheriff's office said.

Everett is also charged with four counts of misdemeanor obstruction, criminal trespass and giving false information to an officer.

He was booked into Hall County Jail, where he remained Thursday morning.
