Adair County Sheriff Harrison Moss, left, and ACSO Deputy Josh Durbin, above, are with the still confiscated in an investigation on KY 55 South Road, which began on Friday night, April 27, 2016 at which time an unresponsive female, not breathing, was later pronounced deceased at TJ Health/Columbia. In the course of the investigation, the still and nine gallons of moonshine were confiscated. The moonshine still was the second Sheriff Moss has confiscated in his career; it was a first such for Deputy Durbin. According to Sheriff Moss, the situation might not be such a big deal; possession is a misdemeanor now. So far as has been established by investigators, the still and moonshine and the death are not linked. The still was manufactured, not home-built, he said. - EW
