Death Before Jail For Tennessee Moonshiner

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Famed Appalachian moonshiner Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton, whose incorrigible bootlegging ways were as out of step with modern times as his hillbilly beard and overalls, took his own life rather than go to prison for making white lightning, his widow says.

I think I saw this guy on a recent PBS special while visiting my mother in the nursing home. Looked just like Snuffy Smith, he did.
