Cobb County Court Grants Bond to Man Accused in Walmart Incident as Supporters Celebrate in Courtroom
On Tuesday, Mahendra Patel was granted bond in a Cobb County courtroom after being jailed for 45 days on charges related to an alleged attempt to abduct a 2-year-old boy at a Walmart. The case has attracted significant attention, particularly after surveillance footage emerged that Patel's attorney claims exonerates him, showing he was trying to help the child rather than abduct him. Despite objections from the prosecution, the judge granted Patel a $10,000 bond, noting he did not consider him a flight risk, leading to cheers from supporters in the courtroom.
