From staff reports
Jan. 25, 2002 - The Lincolnton-Lincoln County Drug Task Force has been looking for fugitive James Taylor Gettings since he made bail in 1997 and never
returned for court.
When last seen, Gettings, now 56, had short brown hair, hazel eyes and stood about 5 feet 10 inches tall. He weighed about 190 lbs. and wore prescription
glasses.
At the time, Gettings lived at 1622 Laboratory Road and he still owns the property.
Gettings was arrested Dec. 9, 1997 for drug trafficking and a federal offense of possessing an automatic weapon. He made bail in 1997 and has not been seen since.
Gettings was arrested after selling marijuana to an undercover officer near Southside Baptish Church. He had 22 pounds of marijuana on him.
When officers searched his home, they found 10 more pounds of marijuana and seized about 50 weapons.
He is wanted by Lincolnton authorities as well as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Anyone with information can contact the Lincolnton Police Department at 704-736-8900. A reward for leading to Gettings’ arrest is offered.
