Reports said Clayton County teacher, Harlon Porter, removed his clothing and walked down the hall of the building on April 22. at 3:20 p.m.

Police said on April 20, Porter learned that his employment contract would not be renewed, effectively terminating his employment.

During Porter's arrest, he stated that he had reached a "new level of enlightenment" and "he wanted everybody to be free now that his third eye was open."

Porter had several books in his belongings that appeared to be on topics such as spirituality and transcendental meditation, according to reports.

Porter also said he wanted to teach on a new level, "with hands in the earth, gathering the essence and learning how to love one another and fully appreciate the spiritual realm."
