Three people have been charged with stealing from a Walnut Hill farmer that was selling his products on the honor system.

Authorities believe they are the three people caught on camera during the early morning hours of November 19 stealing 27 bags of deer corn, peanuts and ear corn being sold at the farmer’s roadside bin and barn on South Highway 99 in Walnut Hill. The suspects can be seen on surveillance video loading up the bags into a van that was later determined to be yellow. Part of that video, first posted by NorthEscambia.com, is below.
About two dozen bags of corn and peanuts were recovered and returned to the farmer.
Traynor was released on a $2,500 bond. Henderson and Dunson remained in the Escambia County Jail as of Monday evening with bond set at $2,500 each, according to jail records.

Wow, what a bunch of losers. Soon they’ll be out, looking for their next big heist….an amazon package on the farmers porch.
Losers. I’d like to tell these guys face to face what losers they are.
Check out these guys rap sheet on escambia jail view. This ain’t their first rodeo especially the last 2 guys. Lifetime thieves.
Next time, Mr. farmer might consider placing a ‘rattle snake surprise’, inside an Igloo Cooler, “Rip Style’. Imagine these fellas’ wives, children, family, are proud as pie to see the faces of their fearless leaders posted on Northescambia.com. Another banner day in Escambia County.
Given their ages, did these men have regular day jobs?
What would possess people their age to do something this silly?
Bambi LOL, grow up.
I guess the question is was it worth it just to kill Bambie ?
This is some sorry individuals. Drive up to the north end to do your stealing. The grand total of their night of crime comes to about $45 each. Well, it looks like that $45 just compounded into a nice attorney fee. Hopefully they are not going to be appointed an attorney. Boy that would be a kick in the, you know where, if we the taxpayers had cover their legal fees. Bad enough the cost of just prosecuting them. They should be made to work for the man they stole from. Maybe six months of pulling, shelling , and bagging corn as well as bagging peanuts would help them understand the work involved in a $5 bag of deer food.
Great job law enforcement-you guys done get enough credit for what’s don’t behind the scenes to catch these criminals in our town and we thank you!!
WOW they all three look like winners at life. Brad wow… I know your family dude… do you think your dad would be proud of this… 40 years old and stealing corn from a farmer… it doesn’t get too much bottom feeder than that. Sometimes you need to take stock of who your friends are and find better people to run with.
At least we know who the thieves are now. If you live near these bozos lock your stuff up.
Northescambia stays on top of news. Best in the County.
a slap on the hand and right back out to steal again.
I’ve been waiting to see these faces. Good job boys you pulled off a great heist. I hope your children and parents are proud. Get a job
If you got plenty of time on your hands….read Traynor’s rap sheet at Esc Co Clerk…page full back to 1993…license suspect for failing to pay fine (06/2021)for burglary..
You reap what you sow every single time.
GREAT JOB ECSD! Big thanks to NorthEscambia for keeping us informed on all the happenings in our County. Isn’t this just pitiful right here..THEY STOLE $135 worth of corn from a man who has provided a way for hunters snd farmers to get their feed after/before business time by using an HONOR system. There’s not many left that will even do this anymore due to activity just like this. I’m glad to see their photos on here. I agree with the one commenter about not judging one another but aren’t we to be our Brothers keeper? We must police ourselves, our family and our neighbors. I hope the judge comes down hard on these individuals…uh, they are still missing one that needs to be caught.
So was it worth it gentlemen?
@Carl,
“Is there such thing as a “repeat repenter?” Nahhh”
Actually, yes, there is. Every Christian is a repeat repenter because we repent of every sin we commit and ask God to help us to commit that sin no more.
I hate a thief, lowest form of life, glad they posted the photos and names, let the public know who not to trust
I hope you are ashamed of yourselves.
Traynor and Henderson has lived in jail..when you “repent” 20 plus times it’s just a word. No religion involved.
There are plenty of prisons here in Florida with vacancies.
I dont judge sinners as the Escambia County Legal system will do that.
Is there such thing as a ” repeat repenter?”
Nahhh
Dumb, dumb, dumber, up you three are proud. I’ve done a lot of things but you three. Ok its time for the court system to go to work. It was a small amount, it’s not murder so don’t expect any massive prison sentence. They need now to go through the system like anyone else. My only question, was it worth it?
In Biblical times thieves were hung on a cross. Time to get back to Biblical times.
Somehow I seriously doubt this is the first time this trio of thieves were out stealing. I’m sure they thought this was easy pickings and the rightful owner would be clueless as to who stole from him. I hope the judge cuts them no slack at sentencing and imposes a harsh sentence to include lots of community service hours.
judge not least he be judged
A spade is a spade a thief is a thief. Send them to jail
Those farmers work hard.
judge not least you be not judged,judge the sin and let the sinner repent!
Community service on the farm hand picking peanuts, corn and cotton for a year.
Tarring and Feathering would be too good for them!!!
Public Flogging might be good!!! This is awful and
SORRY as the day is long!! I hope they serve some time
at the Road Camp, maybe they’d learn to appreciate an honest day’s
work then!!
Question– WAS IT WORTH IT?!!
These 3 should get1000 hours of community service working for the farmer.
Are you guys serious grow up….we don’t need people like yall up here taking from us hard workers so stay in p-cola where yall belong…..no matter what you do now days theres always cameras even at little stands like that…I pray the owner of the corn dont drop the charges…TEACH THEM A LESSON
So, Moe with the yellow van he thought was not easily identifiable, posted bond and left Curly and Larry in jail?
Just think you could have worked a few hours extra and PAID FOR WHAT YOU STOLE.
This goes to all thieves. A few hours or weeks of work to pay for what you get sure beats months or years in jail and thousands of dollars to lawyers..
Bet you will not do this again.
Bet they never thought they would be famous for stealing corn and peanuts from a Walnut Hill farmer. Thankful they got caught!! Crime doesn’t pay.
Ain’t ya’ll proud to be on the front page of the paper..How ashamed your families must be…all for deer corn..Geesh….,grow up guys….
I’m glad they caught Larry, his brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl.
Pittiful grown adults stealing. Why not work for what you want like the rest of us
