A man wearing nothing but white shoes, sunglasses, and a blue backpack was arrested Sunday in Marion County after allegedly wandering nude into a stranger’s home, claiming he was on a drug-fueled quest for a sexual encounter with someone named “Tim.”
Deputies responded to a bizarre call on May 4, where they found Marcus Roper still on the property—sweating profusely and completely exposed. Roper reportedly told law enforcement that he had taken a drug he called “T” (later identified as meth) and stripped naked while roaming the woods, headed for a house where he believed a man named Tim lived.
Instead, he entered the unlocked home of a woman who screamed when the nude man crossed her threshold. Roper promptly exited and kept wandering the neighborhood until deputies made contact.
A search of his backpack revealed a Bluetooth speaker, various sex toys, a large tub of Vaseline, and a bag of methamphetamine—though Roper claimed the drugs weren’t his.
His vehicle, parked in the woods nearly half a mile away, contained his phone—possibly explaining his lack of direction.
Roper now faces charges of unarmed burglary of an occupied dwelling, exposure of sexual organs, and possession of a controlled substance.
