Khalid Kamau, the former mayor of South Fulton, Georgia, who once described himself as “America’s first #BlackLivesMatter organizer elected to public office,” pleaded guilty in Fulton County court on Wednesday to a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge. Prosecutors said he entered a resident’s lakefront home on Cascade Palmetto Highway without permission on July 8, 2023. The plea deal allowed him to dodge a felony burglary charge.
As reported by the Daily Mail, he was sentenced to a $500 fine, 12 months of probation, and 40 hours of community service. He must also write an apology letter to the homeowner and is barred from contacting, visiting, or speaking publicly about them.
