The City County Drug Task Force today confiscated a gallon of moonshine following execution of a search warrant on County Road in the Weldon area.
Clarice Bowser Booth, 57, was charged with possession of firearm by a felon and possession of non-tax paid alcohol.
Task force Agent D.R. Radford said it was not clear whether Booth was reportedly buying the moonshine and there was no evidence to suggest she was making it. Speculation is the moonshine was for personal use, Radford said.
Task force agents went to the residence shortly before 10:45 this morning following a three-month investigation into citizen complaints and Radford's own probe.
He declined comment on what the nature of the complaints were.
The agents reportedly found one handgun and one long gun, along with the moonshine.
Booth was given a February 25 court date and $2,500 secured bond.
Citizens are encouraged to call the Halifax County Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444 to report any drug activity.
