Surveillance video of a wee-hours ruckus at a Macon Wal-Mart on Sunday shows a teenager race inside flashing gang signs ahead of a mob of four dozen or so people who burst in and smashed merchandise.
The commotion, which caused an estimated $2,000 in damage, appears to have been planned.
Some in the crowd also snatched a man, apparently a shopper at the Zebulon Road store, from a motorized shopping cart and dragged him to the floor, Bibb County sheriffs officials said Monday.
The vandals, said to number between 40 and 50, sprinted down the stores main aisle about 1:50 a.m. Sunday, destroying merchandise displays and items, a sheriffs deputys report of the incident noted.
Floors in parts of the store were coated with broken merchandise, the report added. The length of the store from front to rear was lined with items which had been shattered, destroyed, turned over and thrown about.
When sheriffs deputies got there, the crowd began to flee into many different vehicles and leave the scene, the report said.
The store, next to Lowes, is just east of Interstate 475 in one of the areas most frequented shopping districts.
The teenager seen leading the rushing horde of young men and women told a Wal-Mart employee that this was a planned event ... to see how much damage they could cause, the sheriffs report said.
The teen, identified as 17-year-old Kharron Nathan Green, of Ashton Drive in northwest Bibb County, was arrested when he returned to the store to retrieve his cellphone.
Green was jailed and later released on bond after being charged with inciting a riot and second-degree damage to property.
Green, according to the sheriffs report, first told cops that he did not know anything about what had happened in the store and that he did not know anyone involved.
But when his mother and father arrived and watched the surveillance footage with sheriffs deputies, the report said Green admitted to his parents that the male in the video was indeed him.
He refused to name others in the crowd, but according to the report said they had all come from a party on the citys south side.
Hopefully we can identify the others, Sheriff David Davis said Monday. Hopefully its not a pattern of behavior.
Davis wondered about the parental supervision of the young people involved.
Due to the lateness of the hour, he said, I dont know that they were going to be going to church the next morning.
It just says “vandals.” Draw your own conclusions.
It didn’t say “teens”? That’s new.
“The teen, identified as 17-year-old Kharron Nathan Green, of Ashton Drive in northwest Bibb County, was arrested when he returned to the store to retrieve his cellphone. “
Evidently an honor student.
Disappointed they couldn’t find the rebel flag...
Macon Georgia, Folks.
This won't be the last time you see this - but it may be the last time you see one this small...

You know.
We all know.
Were these LBJ’s children? You know, the benefactors of his war on poverty?
Well, we know they were not white or the article would tell us they were crackas.
"Dindu nuffin..."
Rule of laws, what laws? Nobody recognize such things, starting from all three gubmint branches.
I hope he was being sarcastic.
Was Martha with them?
Excellent!
Hmm, snatched a guy off of a motorized shopping cart? Is it time to up the reserve mags to three?
GA FReeper ping.
I doubt this will make the national news.
Yes, it is Johnson’s great society, the final sludge of democrat planning.
