Pair busted for selling moonshine at day care
Agents: Kids inside center when undercover cop bought 2 gallons of booze
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Authorities charged a North Carolina woman with selling moonshine out of her day care center.
The Charlotte Observer reported Tuesday that North Carolina Alcohol Law Enforcement arrested a 57-year-old woman last week at Parkview Community Center in Charlotte.
Agents said children were in the day care center when they sent in an undercover agent to buy two gallons of moonshine.
The woman told the paper she was set up by a neighbor. She said she was just holding a package for a man in exchange for $80 and didn't even know what was in it.
Agents also arrested an 82-year-old man and charged him with making the moonshine. Authorities seized more than 80 gallons of moonshine from the man.
I don't get what the big deal is here. Alcohol is legal to purchase and cosume, correct? So why are we punishing this poor lady for trying to supplement her income a bit? I'm sure in these times of financial hardship some people have taken to babysitting their own kids instead of using the day care so this lady was probably out a few bucks and since she's too old for a lemonade stand she had to go with moonshine. Its not like she's feeding it to the kids. I mean, unless the won't shut up or go to sleep. Then her hand is kind of forced.
Plus I don't see whats wrong with a day care center multitasking. It worked for this guy.
