Pruneshine! That, said the State Police, was what a Braxton County man was making in the still they charged him with possessing and operating illegally.

Police said that when they raided the still, instead of corn mash they found fermenting prunes, apparently the base of a type of brew new to these Appalachian hills.

Charged with possessing and operating the still was 59-year-old Basil F Beane.
