Officers Find Evidence
Buried In A Pig Pen
In the constant battle of wits
between "The Law" and hand
lers of moonshine whiskey,
bootleggers are finding it more
and more difficult to hide their
wares from the eyes of the
police.
One Warren County boot
legger figured that the safest
place to cache his booze was
burled In the pig pen. But he
reckoned without Deputies Dor
sey Capps and Bonnie Steven
son, who dug It up during a
raid Sunday, after they had dis
covered several fruit jars In
his home.
The officers arrested June
Talley and charged him with
posession of untaxed whiskey
for purpose of sale. They also
.destroyed two and one-half
cases of fruit jars filled with
moonshine.
This was the second raid con
ducted by the Sheriff's Depart
j ment during the Christmas holi
I days.
On Christmas Eve Sheriff Jim
i Hundley and Deputies Capps,
| Stevenson and Lloyd Newsom
I raided a home near Ridgeway
I and wrecked Christmas for Joe
| Louis Bullock by destroying
eight half gallons jars of moon
shine and placing him under
arrest. He Is charged with pos
session of non-taxpaldwhiskey.
