James Adam Dunleavy has been charged with aggravated assault, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office. He is being held in the Forsyth County Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing. According to Rick Doyle, director of operations for the sheriff’s office, Dunleavy is suspected of shooting a 28-year-old man in the Twin Lakes Mobile Home Park at 3300 Shore Drive, where he lives.
