A northwest Georgia woman is accused of damaging and flooding a stranger’s home — while naked.

Around 6:40 p.m. Friday, a Calhoun-area homeowner reported she’d returned home to find her home vandalized and a naked woman inside, the Gordon County Sheriff’s Office said Tuesday. Deputies searched the Nelson Lake Road home, where they found the suspect hiding in a closet, Sheriff Mitch Ralston said.

The suspect, Suzanne Hussain, 34, lives about seven miles away and didn’t know the homeowner, Ralston said.

"Ms. Hussain was in fact nude, and was acting abnormally, but was taken into custody without further incident," Ralston posted on the sheriff's office website. "The house was extensively damaged, including having been flooded."

Paramedics were called to scene to evaluate Hussain, who was then transported to Gordon Hospital, where she was treated and released, the Sheriff’s Office said. Upon release from the hospital, Hussain was arrested, charged with burglary and criminal damage to property and booked into the Gordon County jail, Ralston said.

Hussain remained in jail Tuesday afternoon awaiting a bond amount, Ralston said. She was also being held on a probation violation for a prior charge of possession of methamphetamine, jail records showed.
