State agents last week arrested a man charged with selling alcoholic liquor without a license. The Kansas Alcoholic Beverage Control announced the arrest of James “Jimmy” A. Hall in Wichita after a multi-state investigation into his company, Jayhawk Beverage Distributors.

The ABC charges Hall with forgery, identity theft, making false information, obtaining an ABC license by fraud and the purchase and sales and distribution of alcoholic liquor without a license.

He was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail.

Originally based in Pittsburg, Kan., the company moved to Wichita. The operation targeted a warehouse location for Jayhawk Beverage Distributors in the 8600 block of East 37th Street, Wichita. ABC agents seized approximately $70,000 worth of contraband and evidence at the scene.

As part of the investigation, agents worked in conjunction with law enforcement agencies from Kansas, California and Florida.

Law enforcement agents or people with additional information for the investigation into Hall or the distribution company should contact the Kansas Department of Revenue or the Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
