Making moonshine. You mean that’s still illegal?

So now we’re North Caroline…without the mountains. Because moonshine is being made in FloriDUH, more precisely in Polk County where an anonymous tip led undercover detectives to a Bartow home, reports baynews9.com. Oh, and a working moonshine still, reports boynews9.com. Cops seized the still — and seven jars of moonshine — at a house on Thomas Jefferson Circle E. The two guys who live there — 54-year-old Kenneth Wayne Wilkerson and 36-year-old Rockie D. Smith — said they used the still to make moonshine for their own use. “I knew it was illegal but I wasn’t going to sell it. I didn’t see no harm in it,” Wilkerson said. “The moonshine we made- it was good and like I said, I wish you could have tasted some

of it.” Detectives said they also admitted to selling moonshine to their friends and coworkers. The men were arrested. With all the cops and feds at the house, the neighbors expected real trouble. “I’m thinking everything from child pornography to drugs,” said neighbor Todd Ice, who was actually relieved to find out what the arrest was for. “It’s funny (and) it’s comical,” Ice said. “Who could thought that even in today’s age that you’d get in trouble for making moonshine?” PHOTO: Kenneth Wayne Wilkerson Update from FloriDUH headquarters: Because the Spam bot is such a pest, it’s taking longer for yourFlorida to post. Hang with us. It’ll happen. More FloriDUH
