A Georgia teacher, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia seven years ago, was arrested last week for walking the hallways of his school completely naked.

Staff at B.C. Haynie Elementary School in Morrow, Georgia, called police on April 22, after seeing Harlan Porter casually strolling along the hallways without clothes.

When police arrived at the school around 3:30 p.m., they found a naked Porter sitting in the teacher’s lounge.

According to reports, when officers asked the 31-year-old teacher why he was naked, Porter said he had “reached a new level on enlightenment [and he] wanted everybody to be free now that his third eye was opened.”

Porter, who was immediately fired after the incident, was charged with public indecency.

School officials say student had already left the building for the day when Porter decided to strip down to his birthday suit.

Authorities say Porter is a diagnosed schizophrenic.  It is unclear whether schools officials were aware of his medical condition prior to hiring him.
