Digger from “Moonshiners” faced legal issues when he was arrested for public intoxication. However, he continues to appear on the show and remains an active moonshiner.
Digger, whose real name is Mark Ramsey, is one of the stars of the Discovery Channel’s reality TV series “Moonshiners,” which documents the lives of people who illegally produce moonshine in the Appalachian Mountains. In 2015, Digger was arrested in Cocke County, Tennessee, for being drunk in public. Despite this setback, it didn’t significantly impact his role on the show.
On “Moonshiners,” Digger, alongside his long-time friend and fellow moonshiner, Mark Rogers, is known for his traditional moonshining methods and his dedication to crafting high-quality spirits. The duo has been a part of the show for several seasons, and they have become fan favorites due to their expertise and entertaining personalities.
Beyond his television appearances, Digger has also been involved in legal distilling. He and his partner, Mark Rogers, have leveraged their fame from the show to launch their own brand of legal moonshine, which is available for purchase in various locations. This move has allowed them to share their craft with a wider audience while adhering to the law.
Despite the challenges that come with living a life in the moonshine business, both on and off the screen, Digger has managed to maintain his presence on “Moonshiners” and continues to thrive in the industry. His story is a testament to the enduring appeal of the moonshine culture and its place in American heritage.
