OZARK, Ala. (WPEC) " An Alabama police officer discovered a Florida man hauling 81 gallons of moonshine during a routine traffic stop, an amount authorities say far exceeds what can legally be transported without a license. The Ozark Police Department said Officer Dylan Griffin with the Crime Suppression Unit pulled over 61-year-old Learndis Hamilton on January 9 for a traffic violation. Containers of clear liquid were reportedly visible inside the vehicle, prompting further investigation.

This never went away... I remember the tales in the 50's... my sister ran with shiners in the 70's.... I had some nice shine not too long ago product of a retired high school chem teacher... motives have evolved I imagine... still money in there? Leave cash on the stump...

Grandpa died with 450 gallons in a tank in his yard.

Good for drinking and good for running farm equipment.

Rotten potato moonshine. 196 proof.

Had to find a special licensed buyer to buy it when he passed.
