Mrs Varone Case Nolle In Garage Alcohol Raid

Only one five gallon can held alcohol unfit for drinking but could be redistilled with caustic soda. Assistant Prosecutor O Lister urged nol pros for charges of violating the liquor law due to lack of proof of ownership.

Mrs Varone claims she knows the renters of the garage and urged nol pros for the alleged renter.
