Enforcing North Dakota’s prohibition laws was a challenge for law enforcement officers for about the first 43 years the state existed.
A century ago, June 1921, the Stutsman County sheriff even had to chase down the same illegal goods twice.
The story begins when officials made a sizable booze bust down around Millarton. According to the newspaper reports, 42 cases of “good stuff” was confiscated in the raid and a South Dakota man was arrested.
