Judge clarifies Alabama law on out of state whiskey sales
Judge Poyner ruled that Alabama law targets mass possession for sale and not legitimate personal use, citing prior cases of Negro individuals accused of possessing Georgia whiskey. He warned that larger quantities indicating sale still justify arrest, while out of state whiskey for personal use falls under different considerations. Sheriff Farmer noted rationing reduced Alabama whiskey and bootlegging from Georgia and Florida has waned in Houston County.
