Third Suspect Arrested In Nearly $100,000 Burglary Of Guns, Silver, Other Items
April 16, 2022
A third North Escambia man has been arrested for allegedly taking items worth nearly $100,000, including nine guns, during a burglary on Innerarity Point Road.
James Bronson Morgan, 48, was booked into the Escambia County Jail on nine counts of grand theft of a firearm, grand theft $20,000 to $100,000, armed burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, and criminal mischief.
Raymond Eugene Love, age 41 of Molino, and David Ross Holmquist, age 50 of Cantonment, were arrested on the same charges last week.
During the burglary, the trio allegedly took items including $60,000 in silver bars and bullion, ammunition valued at $10,000, 50 extra magazines for an AR-15 and AK-47, and the firearms, according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office report. The items were collectively valued at $96,459.
The homeowner arrived to find his indoor dog outside and that his house had been ransacked. According to the ECSO, the home was entered through a window over the kitchen sink.
Morgan (pictured top) remained in the Escambia County Jail Saturday morning with bond set at $63,500. Love (pictured bottom right) remained jailed with bond set at $211,000, and Holmquist was being held without bond.

These three Yokels knew about this gentleman’s possessions somewhere, somehow… He needs to be more careful of sharing his knowledge of silver bars & bullion along with his ammo & firearms. Glad his possible life savings was saved! Scared him to death, I know! Don’t trust anybody in your house: pest control people, home repair people, anyone you don’t know, because they can waltz through your kitchen or bathroom, bedroom, etc., and unlock that window in less than half a blink of the eye, and you’ll never know it!! These people ALWAYS want something for nuthin’!!! Have a nice day!
As if we don’t have enough to worry about everyday with adverse life situations such as weather and health problems, these creeps lurking about seem to be getting getting a lot more plentiful. At least these three have been taken off the rosture…for the time being.
I’m glad we won’t be seeing two of these tweakers riding around the neighborhood on their bikes at all hours for a long time.
Omgawsh. As stealing is terrible. BILL T your comment had me lol. Wow yal must know some terrible ppl. Right? Now obviously these men are lost. Either for the love of money. Drugs. Circumstances. We really don’t know. I do know the best thing we can do is pray for them and for the victims. It’s a scary thing to come home to unknown. Are they still here? Terrifying. Then the loss of your things pilfered through by strangers with bad intent. We should pray for them.
Well said Bill T.
I chuckled – I saw where a person said these are good guys !!!! Wow you must know some extremely terrible people in your circle of friend!!!.
In my opinion, I think these guys knew what was in that house before they arrived. One or all of them could have been a recent contractor or possibly did some work there. This scenario happened to a family member last year. There was an unlocked window found in the bedroom after the burglary. My family kept their windows locked at all times, and the pest control guy was the culprit.
I guess the temptation of getting a lot of free stuff by stealing is worth more than the risk of getting caught and going to prison for a long time!!!! I saw where a person said these are good guys !!!! Wow you must know some extremely terrible people in your circle of friends!!! So if convicted of the crime you will go to prison for a long time!!!!
