The mayor of South Fulton was arrested Saturday morning. Khalid Kamau was later booked into Fulton County Jail on the charges of criminal trespass and burglary in the first degree.
His bond was set at $11,000. Around 8 p.m., the mayor was released.
“I just wanted to see the house,” Kamau told FOX 5 reporter Deidra Dukes. “I do apologize to the owners. I thought it was abandoned.”
Sources said that the property owner held Kamau at gunpoint until cops arrived, but police have not confirmed that.
Mayor Khalid Kamau was sworn in as mayor in January 2022.
Almost immediately, he began butting heads with other city officials.
In March 2023, members of the city council filed a lawsuit seeking to remove Kamau from office, saying he violated a city charter.
Before being elected to city council in 2017, Kamau worked as a labor and community organizer.
