Later that morning, residents "found almost all of the trashcans on the street and been pushed over into the street," Atlanta Police Department officer John Chafee told East Atlanta Patch.

"Residents advised that a neighbor had a sizeable party," Chafee said. "Officers spoke with a resident where the party was held and he advised that they did have a party but no one that was there would have done something like this and he has had trouble himself since moving to the area."
