A Suwanee man pleaded guilty in federal court today to assault charges in connection with a park ranger who was injured in a July 15, 2012, incident that prompted a change in state law governing prosecution of attacks on park rangers. Charles Brown Jordan, 25, attacked U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ranger Ken Weiner on a Sunday afternoon while he was issuing an alcohol citation at Burton Mill Park off Gaines Ferry Road in Hall County. In Gainesville’s federal court, Jordan admitted his guilt to the charge, although he said that "to be honest, I don’t really remember it," as he was under the influence of alcohol.
