CUMBERLAND COUNTY, N.C. — It may look like gallons upon gallons of water, but state troopers in North Carolina said the liquid inside the gallon jugs packed a bit more punch.
Law enforcement officials said they stopped a driver for speeding.
But when they looked inside the vehicle, troopers said they found 20 gallons of what they believe is moonshine. Troopers said they also found a gun.
