Bungled Law Enforcement in Wake ABC Liquor Theft Case
Wake County District Attorney Burley B. Mitchell Jr and the State Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control clash over an investigation into liquor thefts from the Raleigh central warehouse. The ABC conducted its own inquiry, dismissing three former security officers and recovering a small batch of alcohol. Mitchell says the case cannot be prosecuted due to mishandled investigations by ABC agents, citing rights violations and improper searches. Dr. Olghotis Holshouser defends the probe as proper, arguing politics influenced Mitchell, who is among several Democrats seeking state attorney general, with the party to pick a nominee within six weeks. The piece urges better cooperation between the ABC, its agents, and local law enforcement in future investigations.
