History
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".
One police officer was accused of "routinely arrested dozens of people, usually women, and charged them with driving under the influence simply because they were taking medications prescribed by their doctors that did not impair their driving". The police chief said "I will not apologize for my officers", even those who were untrained in such DUI stops. The chief and the city were subsequently sued for violation of First Amendment rights and the Americans with Disabilities Act as the result of one arrest, and the city council banned several critics of the policing for profit from city property. The suit was later settled.
