Suspected moonshiners in N. GA mountains

A federal indictment accuses two Georgia men of making moonshine. Brett Jarrard and Max Moss, both of Clatyon County, allegedly ran a moonshine still in the Chattahoochee National Forest in north Georgia. Investigators arrested the two men and two other alleged accomplices last night. They say moonshine is illegal because it poses a health risk from crude equipment used to make the alcohol, it denies the government revenue, and encroaches on a legitimate industry.
