Appellant was assessed a fine of $100 for transporting beer in a dry area.

The complaint and information in this case allege that: “Jessie Osegeda Montez did then and there unlawfully Transporting Beer in a dry area, against the peace and dignity of the State.”

Of this complaint the State’s Attorney in his brief, has said: “The complaint and information are both hopelessly inadequate to charge any offense. It is respectfully recommended that a reversal, of this conviction be had and that the prosecution be ordered dismissed.” We concur in this statement.

The judgment of the trial court is reversed and the prosecution ordered dismissed.
