FULTON, Md. -- Authorities said a teenager used what he learned from science class and the Internet to build an illegal moonshine distillery near his home.

Investigators said a woman walking her dogs discovered a corn whiskey still in a wooded area near Fulton in southern Howard County. Officers arrested the boy early Tuesday during a stakeout.

Government agents said the still was built from a bucket, a trash can and some copper pipe.

Authorities withheld the boy's name due to his age. The state comptroller's office said this represents the first moonshine distillery found in the state in five years.

When I went to pick my son up, he just said that he was just making some extra cash... I moved the still to a more hidden location because the fire-water was not so bad... :wink:

B. I knew your son would walk a fine line between using his powers for Good and not for Evil. :wink: :lol:
(Any kid who can throw up in the car on the way to CIP and then be tough enough to have a milkshake is ALL RIGHT in my book!) :D
