A Georgia mayor was arrested for breaking into a lake house but got the surprise of his life when the homeowner grabbed his gun and called the police.
South Fulton Mayor Khalid Kamau was arrested Saturday after the homeowner held the Mayor at gunpoint until police arrived.
The victim said that Kamau yelled at him several times, “Do you know who the f–k I am? I’m the mayor, and I’ll wait for my police to get here and see what happens then.”
“No, motherf–ker, you stay right there,” the homeowner said while he waited for the cops.
When the cops arrived they arrested Kamau.
But police arrested and charged with criminal trespass and first-degree burglary. He was booked in the Fulton County Jail on $11,000 bond before being released.
I do want to thank the South Fulton police and the staff of officers for their courteous and professional service throughout the day,” Kamau reporters as he later left jail.
“The City of South Fulton is committed to upholding the law and ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their position, are subject to the same fair and just treatment,” the City of South Fulton said in a statement.
“As the investigation is still ongoing, we are unable to provide further details at this time.”
