Remarkable Liquor Seizure Record Tails Sheriff Henders on Case
A long list of liquor seizures tied to Sheriff Albert Henders on alleged protection for illegal liquor interests in Sagadahoc county is reported. From 1932 through recent events, deputies and allies seized hundreds of cases and thousands of dollars in liquor, with several suspects jailed or placed on bonds. The article notes a mix of arrests, gunfire, and undercover operations, with Federal officials later taking over some cases and outcomes described as probation or unresolved dispositions.
