A Georgia man is under arrest following a chaotic series of car accidents that spanned multiple counties. The man, reportedly under the influence of Xanax, eventually stopped at a Popeyes restaurant to observe the aftermath, according to law enforcement officials in Georgia.

James Mann, 53, faces numerous charges, including driving under the influence, hit-and-run, reckless driving, and driving on the wrong side of the road, as reported by the Duluth Police Department.

The tumultuous events came to a halt at a Popeyes parking lot on Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth, a suburb approximately 30 miles northeast of Atlanta, situated within the greater metropolitan area.

Before reaching this point, Mann’s vehicle, a Volvo, reportedly crashed into several cars across both Fulton and Gwinnett counties, authorities said.

According to police, the alleged spree of impaired driving commenced on Wednesday in Johns Creek. This information was shared with Atlanta-based NBC affiliate WSB-TV.

In Johns Creek, the beige Volvo purportedly collided with multiple vehicles before making its way to nearby Duluth, continuing to hit other cars along the route.

Around 4:45 p.m. that day, police in Duluth received a call about a car driving on the wrong side of Pleasant Hill Road, according to another WSB-TV report.

At one point, the wayward Volvo shot over the median, police say.

By the time officers arrived, however, the driver was gone – but three other drivers remained at the scene, police said. One said their car had been hit, another said their car had been clipped, and a third said they had to make a last-second maneuver to avoid a head-on collision, according to law enforcement.

There on the road, officers found the smashed-up Volvo. The car had finally given out after its series of collisions with other drivers, coming to rest after cresting the edge of a landscaped median in front of the Popeyes.

Witnesses soon pointed police to the allegedly errant motorist.

“He was sitting in Popeyes the entire time,” a Duluth police officer said in body-worn camera footage obtained by the local TV station. “He was literally sitting at that table watching everybody.”

Inside, the defendant even ordered food, police allege.

Eventually, Mann walked outside, then law enforcement called him over and took him into custody, the footage shows.

Police say the defendant had droopy eyes and spoke with a slurred voice – but there was no hint or smell of alcohol. Rather, a search of the Volvo turned up a prescription bottle for 120 Xanax pills that had been filled earlier that same day. Seven pills were unaccounted for, according to law enforcement.

Later, a member of the Johns Creek Police Department trained in drug recognition said the defendant seemed to be under the influence of a central nervous system depressant, which includes Xanax.

Mann was then taken to a nearby hospital, where he was checked for drug and alcohol use and cited for the violations, police say.
