Motorcycle Service and Moonshine at Wiregrass Chopper

What if you took your bike in for a little service and could step through a door into a waiting room that had a full fledged stocked oak bar complete with some good old Alabama moonshine and a dancing pole with mirrors over in the corner. I’d be tak’n my scoot in there on a regular basis! This would be, to good to be true, not to mention against the LAW. I don’t know what this guy was thinking, but he will have plenty of time to think about it.
So here is today’s story out of Dothan, Alabama.
The owner of a motorcycle business in Hartford faces a felony charge after Geneva County Sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant at the business Tuesday.
Geneva County Sheriff Greg Ward said deputies arrested Donald Lashley, 34, of Hartford, and seized more than 3 gallons of moonshine, along with what Ward described as case after case of beer and numerous bottles of whiskey. Deputies charged Lashley with felony possession of manufactured alcohol, the moonshine, and misdemeanor violation of the prohibition law for all the beer and whiskey.
Deputies seized the illegal alcohol at Lashley’s new business, called Wiregrass Chopper, a motorcycle and motorcycle equipment store located on Alabama Highway 52 about half a block off the town square in downtown Hartford.
Lashley is being held at the Geneva County Jail without bond.
Ward said investigators found the illegal alcohol in a room concealed behind a door past the purchase counter inside the business.
“They had a full fledged oak bar that had just been built with three and a half gallons of moonshine,” Ward said. “Over in the corner they had a dance pole with some mirrors.”
There were no customers in the bar area of the business.
Ward said investigators are looking into the possibility of stolen property, and said more charges are pending the completion of their investigation.

What if you took your bike in for a little service and could step through a door into a :Hells Angels MC club house ? Did someone overlook what is hanging on the wall of that “bar” ? an official HAMC Logo ? This same guy placed a radio advertisement recruiting membership for the gang and may even be part of the newly formed Panama City Hells Angels that started last Summer. The P/C chapter is new and allows women to be members as well.

Up-date – Yea,this guy even told the cops he was attempting to start a charter group of the Hells Angels, and has since been charged with two felony counts of first-degree theft by deception. I guess he got about 8-grand from a couple on a motorcycle deal and never came through….singing..Sweet Home Alabama

Donald Lashley’s wife is also one should be in jail too. She benefited from the crooked dealings of her husband and was there assisting him with his business
dealings. They stole alot of time/labor from their employees. It’s those people who are and will suffer the most from their crimes. I pray for them and their families. This time of the year is supposed to filled with joy, instead for those families Christmas this year will probably be filled with tears. God Bless All of you. As for Donald, I hope he never breathes the air we all breathe again. Bars and shackles are what he deserves.
