DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga. – Sheriff’s deputies have made another arrest in a group accused of stealing financial information from an elderly woman and buying six vehicles at a local dealership more than two years ago. On November 22, 2024, authorities arrested 21-year-old Anari’ Terrell Dixon and booked him into the Douglas County Jail.
