That was Popcorn. He was the only real moonshiner on the show. I believe that all his footage was from a documentary that Discovery did some time ago.

He got busted. He was looking at a minimum ten years in the federal penitentiary and decided to take a nap with the car running and the garage door down.

Your thinking of Popcorn Sutton. He killed himself via carbon monoxide poisoning in order to avoid going to jail. He really isn't the mail focus of the show though.

To the guy that said he went legit, Hank Williams Jr. is using his name to market a legal version of moonshine that allegedly uses Popcorn's recipe and still designs.
