Booze, pot, and guns at daycare
DUPLIN COUNTY, N.C. - A local couple is facing multiple charges after a shocking discovery at their home daycare business.
Authorities confiscated a stash of guns, ammo, gallons of alcohol, marijuana, and moonshine early Saturday morning from Johnnie and Judy Wilson's home business.
"People have a right to live in their residence and operate a business, but to have these types of items in their residence with children around is very disturbing," ALE agent Kenneth Simma said.
Investigators say the Wilsons were not only holding a daycare inside their home, but were also selling illegal alcohol like moonshine for as much as $3 an ounce.
The couple has run Wilson Family Day Care for about four years and have been highly recommended by county officials.
"The children just loved Judy, so we thought everything was going well," said Duplin County social work supervisor Margrette Keenan.
All that changed when Duplin County social service officials found out about the bust.
"We never imagined that anything like this would happen, especially not in our county," said Keenan.
Agents said they haven't seen anything like it either.
"Finding drugs and money and guns at a "joint" or an illegal establishment is commonplace but the fact that it's a daycare - an operating daycare licensed by the state of North Carolina - is the shocking thing," said Simma.
With six misdemeanors between the two, including a felony, this may be one mistake that puts this daycare in a permanent time out.
According to agents, the weapons were locked in a safe.
The Wilsons will appear in court later this month.

To be honest, I don't see the problem. The kids didn't come in contact with the stuff, the weapons were locked away. So why does it matter there was a day care there?
Social workers are bastards, in my opinion - they claim to help but often make things worse.
Well, one thing I learned that illegal isn't always wrong.
