July 9th 2023.
On the morning of July 8, the mayor of South Fulton, Georgia, Khalid Kamau, was arrested for criminal trespassing and burglary. He was later released on a $11,000 bond in the same evening and expressed his gratitude to the law enforcement for their courteous and professional service.
Kamau was attempting to purchase the private property, but the homeowner warned him at gunpoint to remain there until the police arrived. Although the mayor insists he was not aware that the property was occupied, the case is still ongoing.
Kamau has been mayor of South Fulton since 2021 and is the first Black Lives Matter organizer to hold an elected official position. However, he is having a strained relationship with the council members who have now filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him of violating the city charter and disclosing confidential information.
The mayor has since apologized for the negative attention the incident has brought to the city. The outcome of the lawsuit and criminal case is yet to be determined.
