Red-faced claim of false arrest by Kansas ABC agents
Kansas service station operator George W. Martin recounts an incident at a Missouri Kansas line liquor store. He says two Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control Board agents stopped him after a pure chase, demanded liquor in his car, declared him under arrest, and searched his trunk revealing only two six packs of soda. He asks for an apology, possibly from the governor, and argues the stop was illegal for possessing untaxed liquor.
