Moonshine found in truck stopped for weaving
FLAG POND (AP) -- A man who police in northeastern Tennessee charged with possession of untaxed whiskey told officers he's been buying it in the region for a decade. Yup! Goin' on 10 years now. Buyin' it regalar like. Unicoi County Sheriff Kent Harris told the Johnson City Press that Arvin Guffey, 65, of Beach Island, N.C., was stopped Sunday on Interstate 26 a few miles from the state line after his pickup truck was seen weaving. I guess he forgot to wait until he got home to try the stuff. "Honest, Ossifer, I jus hada lil tase." Deputy Frank Rogers then saw the moonshine, 312 quarts of it, uncovered in the back of Guffey's truck. Only 312? Piker! Guffey told authorities he parked his truck with nearly $3,000 inside it in Flag Pond, took a walk and came back to find it full of moonshine. Honest! I don't know how it got there! It's majik! A Mirakle! Da money wuz gone and da hooch was dere! Mus be nomes. He said he has been buying whiskey like that in eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina for a decade. Guffey was cited into court. I don't know nuthin' and I can prove it. Posted by: Deacon Blues 2008-09-10 |
