“Still Operator Nabbed on Scene” from the May 10, 1947, issue of the Statesville
Record Landmark
Sheriff’s department officers yesterday cut down a big still
in New Hope township, near Grassy Knob Church, and arrested Hubert Ray Holloman
of Statesville who was found at the scene.
Deputies Wade Moore and Pressly Johnson, with Constable
Staley Henderson, found the still operating full blast with three men at work.
Two of the men, as yet unidentified, fled and escaped, but the officers nabbed
Holloman, placed him under arrest and returned him to the county jail in
Statesville. Hollowman made bond of $200, however, to await hearing.
The still, a 75-gallon capacity outfit, had just been
started and a little whiskey run off, Deputy Moore said, when the officers
closed in.
