ALE agents seize 929 gallons of moonshine

Posted: Oct. 9, 2009

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.

So that is why my shipment is late!! :D

This would explain a number of things!:D

Must of been a FOG with a "MS" ASI

I thought they were making ethanol to run their trucks on.

The fact that happened in Wilkesboro makes it all the more believable.

I don't remember sugar being an illegal commodity in NC. Why would they seize that? Simply because it could be used to make more? So after he gets out of prison, is he banned from sugar and yeast, like someone who was convicted of hacking can't touch a computer?
