Officers seize multiple moonshine operations across state lines
Last Thursday and Friday, 1K officers including Merrick and Langston crossed into Georgia to shut down distilleries in Oconee and Brasstown Creek. They destroyed a copper still setup with 16 fermentors and about 1,000 gallons of beer, then found another 40 gallon still and 1,200 gallons of beer at Mrs. Emaline Lyles residence. A man named Samuel Swith and Mrs. Lyles were arrested and bound over for preliminary hearing. A further raid along the Chattooga river yielded a smaller plant with 10 fermentors and 600 gallons of beer. The report notes the operation’s proximity to Patton’s mill pond and alleged boat transfers of meal to the still.
