Oscar Bridges, who has been in court before charged with violation of the prohibition laws, was arrested at his home on the Statesville Road last night by Rural Policemen Louis Johnston and C.G. Brown. Three gallons of liquor were found on the premises and were brought in by the officers.
The defendant is to be tried at 4 o’clock this afternoon before Magistrate J.W. Cobb at the courthouse. A few weeks ago Bridges took out a warrant against Louis Johnston, one of the rural policemen who arrested him last night, charging Johnston with assault. He charged that Johnston stopped him on the highway near Bridges’ homeand searched his car for liquor. The warrant was duly served and the hearing held before Justice of the Peace F.B. Alexander, who held the policeman for the higher court.
