Walnut Hill Man Charged With Business Burglary, Resisting Arrest

February 4, 2021

A Walnut Hill man is facing multiple charges after allegedly burglarizing a business and later running from deputies.

Hunter Anthony Chavers, 25, is charged with burglary of a business, grand theft, obstruction of justice and violation of probation.

Chavers allegedly took items worth $9,350 from West Florida Gin on Meadows Road in Davisville. The items reported stolen included a portable welder valued at $8,500 along with miscellaneous hand tools, power tools and other items.

The stolen goods were recovered at Chaver’s residence on Pine Forest Road in Walnut Hill by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, according to an arrest report.

When deputies arrived at Chaver’s residence to serve an arrest warrant, he reportedly ran into a nearby wooded area where he was taken into custody, the ECSO said.

A rifle, pistol and ammunition were seized, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Chavers is not allowed to possess weapons due to the terms of his probation from 2018 conviction on hunting relating charges.

Chavers remained in the Escambia County Jail without bond.

    Go to his Facebook and read his comments. F YOU F this F everyone. Kinda discredits your comment. And yes. I think maybe a good prison sentence would be ju as justified

    I’ve known this guy since I was a kid
    Give a stranger the shirt of his back and help anyone out that needed it
    Easy for y’all to point fingers at him like you ain’t ever screwed up
    We’re all human
    I pray my friend finds his way back from this path he’s chosen

    Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia are nations where punitive amputations are legal.

    I hope this is not really the type of justice system desired in our (not my, OUR) country.

    I knew this boy when he was in school. Or shortly there after bc he hung out with my , THEN high school kid and her boyfriend. He was always such a nice boy. Very respectful and helpful.. What happened? Maybe he needed help or encouragement finding a job? IDK.. But I certainly hope he gets strait. Maybe this will show him that it is better to work and go home than steal and go to jail.. Pray for him . He was a good dude, far as I know.

    What a sad world we live in.. No one wants to earn an honest living anymore . With almost no punishment, It’s easier to steal & get free handouts . This waste of skin better stay clear of my neighborhood.

    He needs his hands cut OFF!!
    Like they do in other countries if you STEAL!

    He stole tools and a welder. Maybe he was going to use them for work so he could make an honest living instead of stealing. He probably had those guns to illegally hunt again, and will probably get him a one-way ticket to prison.
