On 06-18-2026 at approximately 1450 hours I Officer J. Keith (2143) of the McDonough Police Department was dispatched to 579 Jonesboro Rd Tacos La Patrona 2. This location is with in the city limits of McDonough Henry County Ga.
Henry County Dispatch advised that a bald Black male wearing a black shirt, blue sweat pants, and slippers was refusing to leave Tacos La Patrona 2 and was causing a disturbance.
Upon arrival, contact was made with the male suspect, later identified as Samad Adel (DOB:[REDACTED BY AGENCY]). Mr. Adel was located on the side of the restaurant building causing a disturbance and striking a table with his hand. Brief contact was also made with the complainant, identified as [WITNESS #1] (DOB:[REDACTED BY AGENCY]), an employee of Tacos La Patrona 2.
Ms. [WITNESS #1] unlocked the door to the restaurant and frantically began pointing at Mr. Adel as he attempted to leave the location. I, Officer J. Keith (2143), gave verbal commands for Mr. Adel to stop and return to speak with me. Mr. Adel continued walking away while his pants were falling below his waistline, exposing his buttocks. I pursued Mr. Adel on foot for a moment and continued issuing verbal commands for him to stop. Mr. Adel eventually slowed down and threw his hands up to his sides, at which time I grabbed his arm and head, I guided him to the ground and detained him by placing him in handcuffs behind his back. The handcuffs were double-locked and checked for proper fit.
I then assisted Mr. Adel to his feet and escorted him to McDonough Police Department marked Unit #44. While escorting Mr. Adel, his pants fell to the ground, exposing his buttocks and p*nis. I lifted his pants and held them in place while escorting him to the patrol vehicle. Mr. Adel was placed in the rear seat of Unit #44. This incident was captured on the rear-seat camera of the patrol vehicle.
A short time later, McDonough Police Sergeant L. Byers (2107) arrived on scene to assist. Due to Mr. Adel’s behavior and physical condition, I requested that Henry County Dispatch send EMS to the scene for an evaluation. Mr. Adel was observed drooling, sweating profusely, and emitting a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage from his breath.
I then entered Tacos La Patrona 2 and spoke further with Ms. [WITNESS #1]. Ms. [WITNESS #1] stated that Mr. Adel entered the restaurant and began striking the walls, placing his feet on the tables, and consuming an alcoholic beverage. She advised that despite being asked to leave multiple times, Mr. Adel continued placing his feet on the tables and refused to leave the premises, prompting her to contact law enforcement. Subsequently Mr. Adel was arrested for public intoxication, and public indecency. Mr. Adel was transported and released to Henry County Jail on his charges. BWC used. Photos available, Statement obtained. This case is cleared by arrest.
