Driver of Truck Held After Beer Is Seized

Camden Courier-Post - October 21, 1931

Arrested on a federal charge of transporting and possession of beer, John Grost, 39, of 1603 Norris Street, was committed to jail without bail for a hearing before U.S. Commissioner Wynn Armstrong today.

The truck driven by Grost was stopped at Collings Road and the Black Horse pike by police, who found three half barrels of beer. In the machine with Grost was Bruno Skalowski, 16, of 1057 Everett Street, who was held as a material witness.

When the pair were locked up, Grost told Jailer Harry Stahl that “someone drove alongside of his truck and put the barrels in there.”
