SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — The mayor of South Fulton has been released from jail after being arrested Saturday morning.

According to an incident report obtained by Channel 2 Action News, South Fulton Mayor Khalod Kamau was charged with criminal trespass and first-degree burglary after being seen walking on private property on Cascade Palmetto Highway.

Officials said the homeowner confronted Kamau, pulled his firearm and commanded him to “stay put” until police arrived. ...

Of course, the socialist mayor had to beef about "inequities."

While still on the phone with the dispatcher, the report said the homeowner yelled the command again as the man began to walk away.

Socialist BLM Mayor Arrested After Invading Homeowner’s Property
"Do you know who the f--- I am? I'm the mayor and I'll wait for my police force to get here."

Khalid Kamau, a BLM activist and Bernie Sanders supporter, thrilled the Left when he took over as mayor in South Fulton, Georgia. Quickly, he began implementing his vision.

South Fulton’s identity as a Black city is something kamau wants to embrace fully. “Black On Purpose” is a phrase coined by him referring to the types of policies he wants the city to push — ones that intentionally improve Black people’s lives.

Being “Black On Purpose” is key in his vision for the city: a highly educated citizenry and the best place to do Black business. But, getting past the growing pains of being a new city — and the Blackest city — won’t happen without having courageous conversations about identity, insecurity and purpose, he says.

Earlier that year, kamau helped found the Atlanta chapter of Black Lives Matter. By this point, he says the organization had a comprehensive platform that touched on housing, income inequality, restorative justice and more. At the time, members of the Movement for Black Lives were reluctant to get involved in electoral politics, but not kamau.

Police report explains how South Fulton mayor got arrested at stranger's home

https://www.11alive.com/article/news/local/police-report-explains-arrest-south-fulton-mayor/85-dbd70b07-712b-4a50-976d-110d3d9eb14c

The police report states that the homeowner received a notification on his phone from a surveillance camera at 6:52 a.m. that a person, identified as Kamau, was walking onto his property. The homeowner said he put on his clothes and and watched Kamau walk up the driveway toward his home and lake house, which is located a bit further away from his home on the property.

The homeowner said by the time he got into his truck, Kamau was already inside the lake house. He told police he approached Kamau in a "cautious manner" and proceeded to call 911. While he was on the phone with 911, he told Kamau to "stay put," adding he did not want Kamau to come near him.

The homeowner said Kamau began walking away from the lake house in the yard, prompting the homeowner to shout "stay put" once again while the homeowner held a gun. Kamau responded by saying "you can't give me orders," the police report stated.

After the homeowner put his gun down, Kamau allegedly told the homeowner "Do you know who the f--- I am? I'm the mayor and I'll wait for my police force to get here and see what happens then."

 ‘Trespassing’ Georgia mayor Khalid Kamau no stranger to controversy with fights over TikTok, egg hunt, more

The Georgia mayor arrested for trespassing at a lake house and confronting the startled homeowner has been at the center of controversies in the city of South Fulton since his inauguration last year.

Mayor Khalid Kamau, who was charged with trespassing and burglary on Saturday, has spent his entire time in office fighting with fellow city officials, each accusing the other of corruption.

During his inauguration speech in January 2022, the mayor was accused of blindsiding his coworkers when he immediately called on the city manager, clerk and attorney to resign, something city council members agreed was beyond his power.

The tension escalated further when Kamau was accused of misusing his city credit card to pay for a TikTok dance video to celebrate South Fulton’s fifth anniversary on April 2022.

The mayor had used the city funds to pay for the dancers and their tuxedos, something Kamau claimed cost less than $1,000 and was approved by his team, Atlanta News First reported.

“I don’t think it was improper,” Kamau told the local outlet. ”All of my expenses are reviewed by multiple people.”


Kamau refused to discuss Saturday’s arrest when he was released from jail on a $11,000 bond.
