- Mahendra Patel, age 57, spent 45 days in jail after being arrested in March for allegedly attempting to abduct a 2-year-old child at a Walmart in Acworth, Georgia.
- The arrest followed a mother's claim that Patel tried to grab her child while shopping, leading to a grand jury indictment on attempted kidnapping and simple assault charges.
- Patel's attorney introduced surveillance footage during the bond hearing to demonstrate his innocence and explained that Patel made contact with the child in an effort to stop them from falling.
- Judge A. Gregory Poole approved a $10,000 bond for Patel, highlighting his strong community involvement and noting that Patel has no criminal record indicating any violent offenses.
- Following the bond, Patel was released, and community support included an online petition with over 40,000 signatures, while authorities continue a limited ongoing investigation.
