SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WISH) - Indiana State Excise Police officers arrested a man for bootlegging at a convenience store in South Bend.

Officers arrested Patrick Joseph O’Brien, 42, on Oct. 17 after they saw him selling liquor out of his car.

O’Brien told officers that his girlfriend, who is currently in jail for shoplifting in Michigan, stole the liquor bottles that he was selling.

Selling alcoholic beverages without a permit is commonly called “bootlegging” and violates Indiana law.

O’Brien was preliminarily charged with maintaining a common nuisance, a felony, sale of alcohol without a permit, a misdemeanor, and unauthorized dealings, also a misdemeanor.
