A League City man was charged with moonshine and guns. The biggest shock? It wasn't
me.A League City man was charged in federal court Friday with operating two moonshine stills and possessing four automatic weapons, including two Tommy guns.
Hinkley is charged with two counts of distilling spirits at a dwelling and three counts of possessing an unregistered firearm.
An Aug. 3 raid by federal and state agents and League City police on Hinkley's home discovered a still, boiler and equipment for making moonshine, according to the indictment.
Authorities also confiscated an Olympic Arms Commando model .223-caliber machine gun; a DoubleStar, Star-15 .223-caliber machine gun, and two 1928-type Thompson .45-caliber machine guns, the indictment said.
Hell, a guy could have a pretty good time in Vegas with all that stuff!
