A man from Georgia is facing several charges after allegedly causing a string of vehicular accidents across several counties while under the influence of Xanax, according to Peach State law enforcement. The suspect reportedly stopped at a Popeyes restaurant to observe the aftermath of the chaos he had incited.

James Mann, 53, is facing accusations of multiple offenses, including driving under the influence, hit-and-run, reckless driving, and operating a vehicle on the wrong side of the road, as per the Duluth Police Department.

The tumultuous event concluded in a parking lot outside a Popeyes on Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth, a suburban area approximately 30 miles northeast of Atlanta, part of the greater metropolitan region.

Prior to this, the vehicle Mann was driving collided with several cars across Fulton and Gwinnett counties, authorities reported.

The alleged reckless driving spree commenced on Wednesday in Johns Creek, according to information provided to Atlanta’s NBC affiliate WSB-TV.

There, the same beige Volvo allegedly struck several cars and then drove into nearby Duluth, hitting other drivers along the way.

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.
