HAZARD, Ky. (AP) - A moonshine still has been found in the eastern Kentucky hills.

Kentucky State Police said they found it in the Rockhouse community of Leslie County.

They charged 66-year-old Lee Bray with making and selling unlicensed alcohol, illegally possessing and selling alcohol in a dry territory, cultivating marijuana and having controlled prescription drugs not in a proper container.

An anonymous tip led KSP officers and a Leslie County deputy to Bray's home on Tuesday, where they found the still, 28 gallons of processed moonshine whiskey, a few marijuana plants and 13 prescription pills that were not in a pharmacy container.

what he should have done is give the shine to his friends in exchange for work around the house, new tires, or new roof on his house you know the favor system. you help me i'll help you.. and at least he was trying to make a living doing something instead of being like the obamanator's and put everyone outta work and on the draw.

to Saywha?, their is a law against distilling, you can make wine or beer legally, and you can own a still but you can not use it without a license.
