Last Thursday, March 7, police in Danville, Virginia (United States) arrested and charged Steven Ray Tickle, the 35-year-old star of Discovery Channel’s “Moonshiners” reality TV show, for public intoxication.
Danville police, following up on a tip, found Tickle sitting alone in a Charley’s Stop and Shop parking lot smelling of alcohol and holding an open alcoholic beverage. Tickle was taken to the Danville City Jail and then released.
According to the Washington Post, a court date has not yet been set and Tickle does not appear to have hired an attorney.
