Nutter is charged with transporting and having in possession liquor for sale, a pint of whiskey. He was arrested and his car searched on M-42 east of Manton by deputies Smith and Truman, Dec. 19, then again in Manton a short time later, when, the people charge, he threw a bottle, which did not break, and his son then picked it up and threw it so it was smashed and the alleged liquor ran out.
