I spent some time with Pocorn Sutton a few weeks ago. Had a great lunch and we talked about his ways of making whiskey. Bought his dvd even though I had his tape. New book will be out in a few months. He isn't well and one pill he takes is over $1000.00 amonth ( I saw the package and bill) I'm the pretty one on the left if you are confussed.[/img]

i admired those old shiners and the rough life they lead. That old man cracked me up the whole time he was giveing that interview he was a smoking hand rolles butt to butt.

I love this guy! Where can you get this DVD?

What a great photo!!!!

Fantastic! Thanks for posting that.

i love this guy

solitary confinement, or time off for good behavioure? Sounds like a wedding.

Slightly different note, someone with cronic pain in florida was convicted of trafficing even though they didn't have any evidence he was doing anything other then getting medication for his own problem, they offered him no time in jail if he plead guilty.

Long story short they convicted and jailed him for 4 years or something, and now he has all the drugs he could ever need all paid for by the US govt, before he was paying for them out of his own pocket...

While I probably wouldn't recommend it, I guess it's an option for free medicine if you don't have the money/insurance to cover you other wise.

And they do the laundry, cook the meals, wash the dishes, pay for everything. Where do I sign up?

In some jurisdictions I've also heard of car/house payments being covered as well, as for signing up, just start selling moonshine in noticible quantities should do it

Oh yeah I would say selling without a proper license would get ya on that list for sure ...

I have always wanted to meet this guy. Where could i pick up his videos and books?

Right on for Popcorn and best wishes for him and his new bride. Too bad I live too far to have made it.

Unless its changed in the last couple of years, Popcorn's address is:

Popcorn Sutton
P.O. Box 382
Maggie Valley, N.C. 28751

I don't think his recent marriage would have changed his address as his and Ernestine's relationship has been ongoing for several years.

I had not heard of this guy until now, but found him very interesting so I looked him up on the net and read some article etc. There is an interview on another news site.

Anyone ever hear what happened to him after the moon shining bust?

someone said someone heard someone seen pictures of Marvin entering your honors mansion with rectangular box and leaving without it; may be a fly in the ointment now

Didn't see it in the news here, but another forum i frequent is chatting about it.

It's sad to see such a legend get in trouble again..However much this may add to his infamy it may well be his demise....Unlesssss perhapsssss the judge buys his likker from popcorn.

I was headed to see him Sunday. I don't think he is out on bond yet.When you thumb your nose to many times in the Mans (Law)face it will bit you in the ass. Age and bad health will keep him from doing too much time but I think he should retire before it gets worse.

if he got 3 20 barel outfits goin an getin 850 gal he aint usein no suger.
how much he getin a gal? gotta be getin purty good to be usein glass jugs.
ole likker dicks never retire they slow way down but they always thinkin of runin one more charge. just one more.

yall thinkin popcorn gonna retire - he cant its in his blood



so im tole

I ant going to comment on that one Goose

Popcorn gets 50.00 gal for small amounts amd 30.00 gal for bulk.

i hope you no not to tote nothin to him for his opinion.
they gonna be watchin for awhile so cya


so im tole

Sucks that he was arrested again..I want that book of his so bad and darned Amazon aint got it in stock Do yall think that if I write a letter askin for the book and videos, that his other half could take care of it? just seems like it could be a fine peice of literature to read and add to my moonshine "library"..

Here's the latest from todays appearance for the preliminary hearing.

"GREENEVILLE — Famed moonshiner Popcorn Sutton left jail today but could return next month.

Popcorn, whose real name is Marvin Sutton, posted $20,000 bond this morning and waived a preliminary hearing in U.S. District Court on charges of moonshining and possession of a gun by a convicted felon.

He’s agreed to plead guilty Thursday and will waive an indictment by a federal grand jury, court records show. The records don’t spell out the exact terms of the plea agreement.

Sutton must wear an electronic monitoring bracelet until then, submit to drug testing, avoid drinking alcohol and allow searches of his home and property at any time by federal authorities.

Sutton, 61, of Parrottsville, has promoted himself for more than 30 years as the king of ridge-runners, starring in documentaries and writing a memoir, “Me and My Likker.” His last federal charges came in the 1970s, and his most recent state charges last year when a still exploded on his property.

Agents with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives popped Sutton on March 13 after he sold an undercover agent about 300 gallons of untaxed whiskey and agreed to sell another 500 gallons, ATF Agent Gregory Moore wrote in an affidavit. A raid on Sutton’s property uncovered three 1,000-gallon stills, more than 850 gallons of white lightning and hundreds of gallons of sour mash and other moonshine ingredients, authorities said.

More details as they develop online and in Saturday’s News Sentinel."[/b]
