LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The owner of the only restaurant in a small Nebraska town says the business won’t survive after a state panel denied her a liquor license this week.

The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission on Wednesday refused to grant the license for Heather Cole because investigators discovered illegal moonshine at her Riverton bar last year.

Members said they couldn’t trust Cole after she allowed the moonshine into Smitty’s and then lied to investigators about it.

The restaurant serves 40 diners a day in Riverton, which has a population of 86.

Cole said she forgot the moonshine was in the bar and that she never sold it.
