Two North Escambia men are accused of taking items worth nearly $100,000, including nine guns, during a burglary on Innerarity Point Road, and authorities are searching for a third suspect.
Raymond Eugene Love, age 41 of Molino, and David Ross Holmquist, age 50 of Cantonment, were both charged with nine counts of grand theft of a firearm, grand theft $20,000 to $100,000, armed burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, and criminal mischief.
James Bronson Morgan, 48, is wanted for nine counts of grand theft of a firearm, grand theft between $20,000 – $100,000, burglary of an unoccupied dwelling while armed and criminal mischief.
During the burglary, Love and Holmquist 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.
Love (pictured right) remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday morning with bond set at $261,000. Holmquist was jailed without bond.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Morgan is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

i’m so glad david is stupid enough to bring himself this kinda karma. he has made so many unwanted creepy advances towards me so many times. glad he put himself where he belongs.
@paul look up lapua 338 rounds, look up Beowulf 50 rounds. Some people can afford to shoot quality weapons. All the guns were not stolen your assuming they stole only Ak 47 rounds when in fact that’s the only rounds they left. But I would love to have 10k 762 or any round, why because they are going up in value.
To “No (Know) the Person”, I am wondering if someone broke into their house and stole their belongings if they would still be shouting the same message about people being good and being good fathers.??????
@shoe string not sure where your info came from but it is incorrect. Mr. Love was not charged nor was he convicted of the house fire on Eastman in 2010. Someone else was responsible for that fire.
If yall remember Mr Love was convicted of burning his house down while cooking meth just a few years ago
Come on.
Stumbled across this home purely by accident right.
But ok. Give them all that they’ve earned
If I had that much valuable items, I think I would have invested in some really heavy duty safes to keep it somewhat protected against being stolen. Maybe I am missing something not mentioned? Stealing is stealing, & IF guilty they need some kind of long term prison.
No The Person. Just because you know them doesn’t mean they are good people, It kinda points back at you for being associated with these thugs, Bottom line, they stole someone else’s possessions and that is against the law.
Who are any of you to say what is excessive or not when it comes to ammo! Just because you limit your range time, it doesn’t mean others do too and it’s none of your business how someone spends their money! It’s NOT about defending off some fantasy army either, it’s about economics and the price of ammo rising exponentially over recent years, as well as availability of said ammo!!! I used to keep 10,000 rounds for each firearm, because I would average a 1000 rounds each trip to the range and it was cheaper by the case, but I can’t afford to participate in the sport as much now because of the cost. There is absolutely nothing wrong with someone having a stash of ammo so stop trying to make an issue out of a NON-ISSUE!
I don’t know where to start on a reply to some of these comments.
To the owner, sorry you have to go thru this, nothing like losing things that belong to you because of being stolen by someone else.
“Paul” 10K in ammo is not “excessive”, “not that it is any of your business how much ammo I have”. 5.56 AR ammo got up to 1.00 per round last year. So, it is very easy to have 10k in ammo. Not to hold off an army, but to protect me and mine if needed.
“no the person” Good people sometimes do bad things. I don’t know the details, I don’t know the men. I know they stole and should be punished,
Just my 2cents
To no to the person: what is wrong with what you are saying!!! You got to be kidding me !!! They are all good until they ain’t good no more!!! And these boys ain’t no good peroid they are thieves and when convicted will do some GOOD time in jail!!!!!
You can’t always believe what is printed in the paper and Escambia County cop’s get paid to lie so unless you know there situation you have no reason to judge or even talk about these men and David is a good father and a loving person who helps everyone jail is not were he needs to be rehab but far from jail
they are only accused,not found guilty.
WASN’T THE GUY LAST NAME LOVE NOT ON NORTH ESCAMBIA A FEW MONTH’S AGO
Burglary of a dwelling while armed with a firearm can get you life in prison PBL
7.62 x 39 runs $300. for 1,000 rounds.
Yep, I do think $10,000 in ammo is excessive.
I have about 500 rounds for each pistol, 500 12 gauge and 1,000 7.62.
Plenty enough to go to the range and protect my property.
@Paul, this person might take part in competitive pistol matches like I use to. I competed in the 2700 pistol matches that consist of shooting 270 rounds per match. Just like in golf or any other sport where the individual competes against other individuals the practice requires much more than the actual match. I use to fire 200 to 300 rounds a day, every day in order to compete on the national level. With prices like they are today, $10,000 probably wouldn’t keep you in ammo all year.
People better get armed keep it with you train protect your family I will not hesitate to shoot either one of these guys at my house..
To the No The Person, the items they stolen belongs to other people that worked for their things. You might these men and you say they are good men, but if they are stealing from other people they are not good men. My house got broken into years ago, the thief stole things that I worked hard for, so they are no good, they are losers.
“No the person ” Based on nothing more than your statement here I would not trust a judgement call in a little league softball game from you. They broke in and stole. Had the homeowner came home during that time, they could be dead and or the other way around.
They may have been good people at one time, but not anymore.
Betting drugs are involved and the selling of stolen items to buy more drugs.
What’s the situation? I don’t have a clue who these dudes are.. they stole family heirlooms. Stuff we can never get back from our dead parents. My best friend past away few days before the robbery they stole the stuff I had that belonged to him. There’s no excuse for what these guys did to us, we don’t know them and never had even met them before. if they needed money they could of asked. I’ve given all kinds of people loans and money. and they robbed me.. so tell me the situation. As far as ammo goes ever heard of a shooting range? And the pleasing price of ammo. I’m not by far not the only one that stocked up on ammo for hunting and shooting.
@no the person – They’re not good men if they’re willing to break into someones home and steal what isn’t theirs…Period. What if the homeowner had come home while this was in progress? Might be a different headline with different charges…Shameful
I’d be more upset about the dog. Thank God he hung around while Dumb and Dumber got caught. Good job ECSO!!!
Its Know not no for one. And what situation is there to know? They clearly were caught. So is there a situation that allows them to do this? I think not.
I know both these men and both are good men and fathers you need to know the whole situation before you pass judgment and at end of day know one has right to judgment but our heavenly father above
It plainly says in the article that at least one of these losers was given a bond of $261,000.
Great job LEO’S
Well there goes your golden years, dummies
$10,000 in ammo. Dang, somebody has issues.
Newsflash, you’re never going to hold off any army.
I’m wondering if there’s an inside connection between them or if they just stumbled across their loot.
Were the items recovered????
NO LOVE LOSS ON THE STREETS, LOVE IS IN JAIL AND THE THE JUDGE SHOWED NO LOVE..
Will there be any Federal charges filed for the gun crimes?
GOOD JOB LEOs. I’m getting sick and tired of people like this thinking they can do these things and get away with it. Pure trash is what I see here with these two. Maybe they should bring back some of the old forms of punishments. Not that this bunch of thugs would allow that as a deterrent. Thankful that they got caught and they need to go straight on down to the Prison..I said what I said but I’m sure there will be some that say “they are good people who got into this/that” and we need to give them a break. I’m sorry, at this age this is the ONLY life they know…I bet their family is proud…if they even claim these two
Good work, Jailed without bond, lol, should be more of this
Ain’t nothing like some good ole chicken pot pie!
