Whiskey And Moonshine Allegedly Lead To Shooting Near Jay
October 14, 2014
A 63-year old northern Santa Rosa County woman is jailed, charged with a shooting a relative after reportedly drinking “apple pie liquor”.
Lisbeth Ann Varnadore of Jay allegedly shot the victim in the head with a .380 handgun, causing a four-inch wound. The victim was conscious and alert when transported to an area hospital from a residence in the 15000 block of Munson Highway, just south of the Florida/Alabama state line.
Witnesses said “Lizzy” was yelling “You won’t call me a [expletive] again” before firing. The victim told detectives that she had been drinking moonshine and whiskey prior to the incident, became belligerent and was calling those around her various expletives.
Varnadore was charged with a committing a felony which could cause death and given no bond pending her first court appearance.

I think no matter what she was called, she was feeling ten feet tall and bullet proof and armed with a huge gun was a bad idea, I’m sure she has regrets
Even if the moonshine was legal the shooting was not!
@ Well …. your comment was the best yet on this matter.
Pistol packin’ mamas could have dispatched the two disrespectful men.
I too am for unleaded moonshine.
This is really very sad. This lady is a senior citizen and will not do well in jail. Tragic how alcohol and/or drugs can influence people to do crazy things.
I thought moonshine was only illegal if you sell it. Personal use (in moderation) is ok. Woman in article may use time on hand to now study “moderation.”
Drinking will lead to shooting lead
Drinking did lead to shooting head with lead
You could assume the verb was implied and leave it out
You COULD demand your money back
David for keeping lead out of ’shine
(and alcohol out of armed people)
@ Moe Pujols
Actually, “lead” is correct. The word is lead, pronounced like “leed”. The spelling has a couple pronunciations and meanings. Good thing you are not a writer.
She seems to have the mothering skills that a couple of fellows in recent stories needed.
I’ve seen a recipe for apple pie liquor, a warm fall drink made with Everclear which is a very high proof alcohol banned in about 13 states, It is very dangerous and intense intoxication can come very fast.
Might be legal “moonshine”.
If she has no priors, she will get probation.
just tell ‘em “Ya called me a [expletive] like it’s a bad thang..” and go on about your business..
I’m not sure about the 10-20-life law since not everyone who shoots someone gets 20 years.
Liquored up on white lightnin and whiskey…better call in the revenoorers to bust up that still…
led is the correct word not lead which is a toxic metal
I bet he won’t call her a [expletive] again…
Note to self:
Avoid armed drunks
No one will have to worry about her for a long time after she goes to trial, she is now looking at 20 years to life. She is eligible for a life sentence even if the person lives according to the 10-20-lifw law that is in effect and NO stand your ground defense for her either.
At 63 years old you would think that she would not act like a juvenille when called an expletive, i guess.some people just never grow up.
