It's likely to be a matter for the Family Court and so they're under general guidance to mitigate the interference unless there's a specific order (particularly if the people are rich).  She might not have been allowed to go home, but it's unlikely she had to stay in a cell.The arrest for alcohol tax occurred in the morning so they were probably able to process him and get confirmation to release him on the same day since they likely would have seized all the evidence etc.  They are unlikely to have a good case to detain him, particularly since it's a misdemeanor so mostly punished with fines.In regards to the charge, while it's fun to think of it as making moonshine - that's a separate charge in NC.  NC has the 5th highest tax rate for distilled alcohol in the US, where as Wisconsin is the 41st, and even SC has a rate 1/3rd the size.  So it's far more likely that Justin figured he'd he'd stock up on fancy booze while out of state and offer to sell it to people, particularly if it's hard to get in NC due to the increased tax making it less appealing to stock up etc.</blockquote>
