No cure for Stupid, selling on Facebook
POLK COUNTY, Fla. —
Three people were arrested in Polk County for selling moonshine on Facebook, deputies said.
Deputies got a tip that Alton Trowell, 31, was selling the alcohol on his Facebook page.
An undercover detective contacted Trowell through Facebook, but ended up speaking to Trowel’s live-in girlfriend, Christie Comkowycz, 31.
She offered the detective 192-proof grain alcohol for $20 a pint, deputies said.
Comkowycz negotiated the sale of 12 pints for $240 and asked the detective if he was a cop.
The two met at a store parking lot on Jan. 12 with another suspect, Dalton Ridlon, 20.
Once the illegal liquor, which was in mason jars, was exchanged for money, detectives arrested Comkowycz and Ridlon.
Comkowycz told detectives that Trowell had been arrested the night before by deputies on unrelated drug charges, and she continued to use his cellphone and Facebook page in an attempt to sell moonshine, to raise enough money for his bond.
Deputies later searched Trowell’s home, where they found a 5-gallon container of moonshine, which the suspects said they do not make, they only sell.
Comkowycz told detectives she got the alcohol from Richard Lott, 48, who was later arrested by an undercover detective.

I am trying not to be judgmental, but these people are 6 years older than me and still don't know any better. The combined IQ of the whole enterprise must land in the mid to low 70's.
I will argue that there is a cure for stupid, and it comes in .40 caliber.

Re: No cure for Stupid, selling on Facebook
Sounds like they bought it from someone else and tried to re-sell it. So even if your smarter than that lady if you sell to someone that dumb it can come back to bite you. DON'T SELL

It's hard not to be judgemental when you read something so ridiculous. You just know this couple is going to end up on one of the dumbest criminal shows. I promise that I'll work on being less judgmental with my next mug of rum.

Re: No cure for Stupid, selling on Facebook
Well since it was stolen from a legit distillery, would it still be moonshine?
Re: No cure for Stupid, selling on Facebook
Depending on who you ask, moonshine is exclusively illegal.DuckofDeath wrote:Well since it was stolen from a legit distillery, would it still be moonshine?
It wasn't moonshine UNTIL they stole it.

The distiller advertises as producing "Denatured Moonshine" for food preparation. Something is really messed up here.

Gotta love the add on charge "use of a two way device to commit a felony"

Denatured alcohol has to follow one of many recipes provided by the federal government, all of which are engineered so that people will not consume them...
Something isn't right

I like the quote from the protester.
"A group of anti-drug activists were outside the Polk County Sheriff's Office and spoke to FOX 13 about the arrests.
"It'll kill ya! That stuff will send your soul to hell - in a hand basket," activist Thomas Chapman said...

There seems to be a whole lot of "not quite right" here http://www.preparedfoods.com/articles/1 ... -moonshine" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow
Ive seen it all now, whiskey that goes off after 12 months if its not refrigerated.
QUOTE "The 40% alcohol Moonshine white whiskey is 80 Proof and is a clear, un-aged whiskey. The whiskey has a 12-month shelf life without refrigeration."

Obviously the author is confused or somehow left out some additional information about the final product.
