The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

The community was named after Charles Statham, a University of Georgia official.

In the 2010s, Statham's aggressive stops for driving under the influence (DUI) came under widespread scrutiny. After the city's projected revenue from fines more than tripled in two years, residents accused the town of "policing for profit".
