There must be some kind of law that says presidents must pardon a certain number of moonshiners every year. I swear it seems like a couple of these show up on every list of presidential pardons I've seen. LOL.
President Reagan issued a presidential pardon to the most famous moonshiner of them all . . . the guy known as "The Last American Hero" -- moonshiner turned NASCAR rookie turned moonshiner turned NASCAR legend Rober "Junior" Johnson.
as soon as I saw liquor violations, Junior came to mind before I even saw the end of your post. lol
The first person that came to mind when I saw the liquor law violations was Junior Johnson.
