HARALSON COUNTY, Ga. – On Thursday, July 11, 2024, members of the Haralson County Crime Suppression Unit and the Northwest Georgia Drug Task Force followed leads on a wanted person out of our jurisdiction to a residence in Douglasville, Georgia.

James Todd Fincham, a 58-year-old W/M out of Temple, GA was wanted on a Felony Bench warrant for failing to appear for court.

I have also stated more than once that if you run, we will find you and bring you to justice. I would also like to thank the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office for assisting us in the apprehension of this wanted felon.”
