This is my Dad. He was an A.T.U. ,before(ATF) known as Alcohol and Tobacco Tax..He was a Federal Field Agent for many years..He was transferred all over N.C. hotspots due to his wit, footspeed, and the ability to outsmart common bootleggers. He later became the youngest Fedral Agent ever named Supervisor In Charge of Western North Carolina in the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Agency..Anybody who wants to know the truth about bootlegging in N.C.(Not the crap fancied and glorified on T.V.) should contact me...I have boxes full of hand-typed cases of raids, evidence, court cases, peoples names, places, judges. I have old Federal handbooks,procedure,jurisdiction,warrants filed,judgements. The truth will shock you.
