A Georgia mayor was arrested after entering a house he claims he thought was abandoned, only to come face-to-face in a bizarre standoff with the homeowner who held him at gunpoint until police arrived.
Khalid Kamau was caught creeping around the lake property on Cascade Palmetto Highway around 6:52 a.m. Saturday morning by the unnamed homeowner who ordered him to 'stay put,' according to a police report obtained by WSBTV.
'Do you know who the f*** I am? I'm the Mayor, and I'll wait for my police to get here and see what happens then,' Kamau allegedly yelled back at the owner.
Kamau, who has been mayor of the City of Fulton since January 2022, later told police he was on the private property because he was interested in purchasing the home, which he believed to be abandoned.
The mayor was arrested on criminal trespassing and burglary charges. He was released from the Fulton County Jail that evening after posting an $11,000 bond.
The mayor would not speak about the charges when he left the jail in handcuffs on Saturday, but explained why he was on the property.
'I just wanted to see the house,' Kamau told Fox 5 Atlanta. 'I do apologize to the owners. I thought it was abandoned.'
South Fulton police responded to the property for reports of a trespasser with the homeowner explaining he had received a notification on his phone around 6:52 a.m. that someone was at the lake house.
The homeowner was inside his home at the time he got the alert and said he watched the person walk up the driveway of his home toward his lake house, according to the report.
He then got into his truck to call police and said that he could see someone in his lake house...

“Do you know who I am”?
“Yeah, the perp who’s about to go to jail.”
Quick call obambi for a beer summit.
Yeah we know who you are, you’re the dude who went to jail.
Am I the last guy on the planet who doesn’t have cameras pointed all over his house?
Yeah a squatter!
<< Kamau is described on the city’s website as a ‘community activist and Southern, Black, Christian Socialist,’ >>
Socialists don’t believe in private property. Unless it’s theirs.
I have a single camera pointed at the pen where we keep our dogs. Other than that, cameras are useless. They show you a crime in commission. They don’t stop crime.
“community activist and Southern, Black, Christian Socialist,’
why no comma between christian and socialist? is there a new denomination Christian Socialist?
it seems to contradict itself.
The Mayor.
I wonder if he was drunk or drugs. Let’s see if it’s dropped.
I’ve been to the City of South Fulton’s regular meetings and townhalls.
That is one circus clown act that makes me SMH every time I attend.
A Christian who doesn’t believe in God.
Oxymoron for a moron like this mayor.
Sounds like another example of an affirmative-action fail.
I always go creeping around properties without the owner’s permission at 6 am. Don’t you? Sounds perfectly reasonable.
He’s damn lucky he wasn’t ventilated.
’ “I hope that the spotlight on our city right now will highlight some of the inequities that have been happening,’ he told Fox 5 Atlanta.” ‘
Does this mean the homeowner was white and he’s pissed he got caught?
No surprise
Mug shot.
Does he get a small fee for using a logo shirt?
Has to keep those revenue streams flowing to him.
Do you know who the f*** I am?
Yeah, one dead MF’er if you do something stupid .
