ALE agents seize 929 gallons of moonshine
Wilkesboro, N.C. — State Alcohol Law Enforcement agents seized 929 gallons of moonshine Wednesday and arrested a Wilkesboro man, authorities said Friday.
Roger Lee Nance, of 1117 Shew Ridge Mission Road, was charged with possession of non-tax paid liquor, possession of non-tax-paid liquor for the purpose of selling, and possession of equipment and ingredients intended for the use in the manufacture of an alcoholic beverage.
“This is one of the biggest seizures of white liquor I’ve seen come out of the mountains in my career,” ALE Director John Ledford said in statement.
The arrest follows a two-month investigation by ALE agents, assisted by the state Highway Patrol. In addition to the liquor, large amounts of sugar and other items were seized during a search of Nance's property, authorities said.

That's over $10K in unpaid taxes. The government gets serious about its money.

Well, my morals certainly feel uplifted.
It's awful when the State doesn't get their cut of the alcohol trade. Just awful.

Gov’t should auction off that stuff, or use it as a fuel.

He should claim he was experimenting with alternative fuels and apply for a stimulus grant.

I didn’t know that the Feds allowed competition. They might want their share.

A typical jar of moonshine. It was wrongly believed that the blue flame meant that it was safe to drink.
