OK - here is the article from MY local newspaper - I have no idea what Fan Event he was referring to because if he was that close, I would have been there!
Soap star, fianc�e barely escape arrest at park

ST. GEORGE ISLAND
Of all the couples who ever sunbathed in the buff on St. George Island, they probably are the ones who would be voted the hottest.
He�s James Scott, a 6-foot-4-inch hunk who stars as E.J. Wells in the daytime soap opera �Days of Our Lives.� She�s his fianc�e, Meyghan Hill, a blue-eyed brunette model and actress from Los Angeles.
So what was the couple doing when they were caught sunning their bodies at the Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island State Park in August? In a Sept. 18 cover story in �Soap Opera Digest,� Scott told all.
�I went to do a soap event and then drove out to St. George Island, which is beautiful, and I walked for maybe a mile or two along the beach with my girlfriend,� Scott, 28, told the magazine.
It was about 2 p.m. on Aug. 20, according to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection�s Division of Law Enforcement, when Scott and Hill, 29, were approached by �a plump-looking warden � looking at me sideways because he was afraid to look at anything other than the sand,� Scott told Soap Opera Digest. �And he told me that he could arrest me.�
The officer, Scott Henderson, was patrolling the park and reported the woman was sunbathing completely nude when he arrived. The British born Scott told the magazine he thought Henderson was joking.
�I told him that my name was E.J. Wells, because I thought it would be awfully clever on my arrest sheet,� Scott told Soap Opera Digest. �I was trying to persuade my girlfriend to say that her name was Samantha Roberts,� he said, referring to another character on the soap opera. �But then we started to take it a little more seriously when he said again that he could arrest us.�
Henderson let Scott off with a warning, �on the grounds that I was English and didn�t really know better,� he told the magazine, but Henderson issued Hill a citation. The citation, for violating a public nudity ban in state parks, carries a $215 fine.
Hill had not paid the fine as of Wednesday afternoon, according to a spokeswoman for the Franklin County clerk of courts. Either Hill or a representative will have to appear in court today if the fine is not paid.
A message left on Hill�s phone was not returned late Wednesday.
�There wasn�t a person for miles around,� Scott told the magazine, �except a beady little man with binoculars trying to spot bottoms, and he spotted one.�
