Investigators say an alleged moonshine operation has been broken up in rural East Texas.
Smith County authorities on Wednesday confiscated two stills at a site near the town of New Chapel Hill and questioned a property owner. Authorities seized about 50 gallons of suspected homemade alcohol, propane tanks and glass containers.
Constable Dennis Taylor says a pint jar of moonshine sells for about $100.
The Smith County Sheriff's Office did not immediately provide further information Thursday on any charges against the property owner.
The investigation began four months ago when a teenager was found passed out on the side of a road after allegedly drinking moonshine. Authorities say a tip led to some property where the stills were discovered.
New Chapel is located 100 miles southeast of Dallas.
