Is there a picture of this guy? I think we might have stayed at a North GA shelter with him.

Dehydrated hiker. My first thought was if the dude was a Mountain House.

Dehydrating yourself is taking the ultralight thing a bit too far!

Here's an Eric Walker of the same age arrested in Brevard County (Cocoa is in Brevard) on the same charge (Battery):

It appears to be the same guy. His posted picture is from six years ago, from a previous arrest for battery, but it said his current age is 33, and the media report that the dehydrated hiker was 33. Bingo.

I say we christen him "Mountain House" as a previous poster hinted. That's a great trail name for a hiker who is low on fluids.
