On Thursday detectives busted three Haines City men for allegedly making and selling illegal hooch.

Barnes owned the equipment and apparently had a talent for refining the booze and creating assorted flavors such as pineapple, apple pie, and peach, deputies said.
Detectives also found a moonshine still and still equipment inside the garage of Joe Douglas Aaron, 73, along with numerous mason jars of the moonshine which appeared to have been distilled from a mixture of grains. The still was in a bathroom next to a dirty sink and a toilet, according to the Sheriff's Office.
