Georgia mayor arrested on burglary and trespassing charges

Khalid Kamau, mayor of the City of South Fulton, was charged with criminal trespassing and first-degree burglary. He was released the same day on $11,000 in surety bonds.
The councilwoman who is serving as mayor pro tem following Khalid Kamau's arrest is one of five members who filed suit against him earlier this year.
Really need more information to make any kind of call. On the one hand, I'm reluctant to believe that a mayor just broke into someone's home for some petty theft. On the other hand, I'm also pretty suspect of any politician that claims that God is using them and their "persecution." What is this beef between the mayor and the council? Did the council have something to do with the trespassing/burglary charges? Like wtf is this story.
From the New York post so make of it what you will:
Kamau admitted to police that he was aware he was trespassing on the homeowner’s property, despite telling FOX 5 Atlanta he believed the home was “abandoned.”
The homeowner, who has not been publicly identified, said he saw the mayor walk up his driveway and approach his lake house when he rushed to get dressed and called police from inside his truck.
The owner of the home then approached Kamau and held him at gunpoint until police arrived, warning the mayor to stay put, the report states.
Georgia sounds like a wild fuckin' place to live. Was the mayor actually inside the home, I wonder? It doesn't really say. And why do they think he had intent to steal anything?
I use question marks, but really we can't know until more info comes out.
what was he doing undressed in his truck though?
From an Atlanta Journal-Constitution article
No, but the majority of the council members want him removed from office, and the person taking over for now is one of those members. So I assume they're happy. Good ol' political drama
Georgia is a one party consent state. Get fucked, city council.
They got mad because he values transparency for the public, which results in them unable to govern? Lol
I’m sure there is more nuance but lol. Pathetic from the top to the bottom
