A man who spent over a month behind bars after being accused of attempting to abduct a toddler at a Georgia Walmart has been released on a £7,500 (Approximately $10,000) bond, thanks to video evidence that challenges the initial claims.
Mahendra Patel, 57, was held in Cobb County jail for 45 days after allegations were called in March that he had tried to snatch a 2-year-old boy from his mother, Caroline Miller. The incident, which took place in the town of Acworth, about 30 miles northwest of Atlanta, sparked widespread attention and concern.
