Molino Man Facing Drug, Theft Charges Now Accused Of Trying To Sell Stolen Boat From Jail
September 30, 2025
A Molino man jailed on grand theft, burglary and drug charges is now charged with attempting to sell a stolen boat from behind bars in the Escambia County Jail.
Hunter Grant Myrick, 35, was charged with felony dealing in stolen property. He remains in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $77,500.
Selling A Stolen Boat From Behind Bars
Investigators said Myrick communicated with a relative and two other people while he was in jail, making numerous attempts to create a fraudulent title in order to sell a boat. The boat was allegedly hidden at a relative’s house on Molino Road.
The boat, registered to a deceased man on 66th Avenue in Pensacola, was discovered parked in tall grass on the side of a backyard shed, according to an arrest report. Relatives that held the boat title upon Marshall’s death told investigators that the vessel should be located at a property on Marge Lane in Molino.
In recorded jail phone conversations, Myrick tells others to get the boat, sell it and apply the money to his jail account**;** according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. He also instructs someone to meet with “Weezie” and have him print a title for the boat so that it can be sold, an instruction repeated in other conversations. He states that the boat should sell for $3,000 and not to negotiate the price.
Myrick was jailed on two previous arrests.
Dave Howell Tires
Myrick was previously charged with burglary of an unoccupied structure, grand theft, and dealing in stolen property for a theft at Dave Howell Tires on Pensacola Boulevard from July 18 to August 18, 2025.
Myrick allegedly stole five Sumitomo tires valued at $1,430 and sold them on Facebook Marketplace. Investigators alleged that he had someone else post the tires for him. Myrick told deputies that individuals that turned him in had purchased Fentanyl from him and they wanted a refund, which he would not provide. He provided deputies with text messages stating the $70 worth of Fentanyl “did not taste right”, and the purchasers were unable to get high.
Drug Arrest
When Myrick was arrested on an outstanding warrant on August 28 in Pensacola, he had drugs in his front shorts pocket, according to an arrest report. Additional charges were filed for possession of methamphetamine and possession of fentanyl.

Ask those crimes committed by live time criminal. Give him some jail time. Fentanyl now that’s another ball game. Something deserving of serious punishment. I mean it’s bad enough if your hooked I’m that stuff. But to sell that deadly stuff knowing that one line or one shot can cause instant death is a crime worthy of being removed from society. We must take a stand against those who deal drugs that are killing people in staggering numbers while putting money in terrost pockets and crime lords. Throw the book at him on the fentanyl and make him a lesson to all those in that fentanyl crowd.
What..arrested again? Not surprised when you make stoopid mistakes. Old enough to know better, and was definitely raised right. Sometimes the right parenting makes no difference. Myrick has been in trouble since Middle School. Jail time means nothing to him. Put him in jail for many years instead of wasting time arresting him repeatedly. Grow up Myrick along with your siblings!
@Molino Resident, you might want to watch your mouth. Even though he has messed up his life, he has family that love him. He should stay in jail. But he doesn’t deserve to die like you insinuate. You say that to the wrong person without knowing who you’re talking to and you might be the one “eating the stash”.
It’s terrible that drugs can erase good memories, fun times that did not include a “drug stupor” and especially the loving arms of your family. Drugs give you a very false sense of yourself. Drugs lie, people die and this guy does not care. Sounds like a demon of sorts. Meanwhile, the family’s hearts are broken and the children suffer the most. God help these people.
Selling a boat from jail.
I have never heard of that. This man is quite resourceful. Maybe he should apply his talents and skills to a 9-5 job where you do not have to worry about being arrested.
Just a thought.
Instead of release on bond the government should just build inmate work camps near farms and have these able bodied people to work on farms. Maybe a little hard labor for 5 – 10 years might encourage them to get legitimate employment and pay taxes.
Patient needs a double dose of good prison time. 40-years without parole should save the world from this thief’s criminal habits.
Gosh Hunter, last time I heard your voice you were clean in a safe place that helped you stay clean west of Pensacola. Grow on up My Man. You’ve got a big heart… “USE” YOUR Heart to help others and be better to yourself. Stop the stupid drugs. It can’t be “fun” anymore. You can again get clean and think of your kids and family who love you. Hopefully someone in your Family will show this note to you. I just lost my fiance that you know … now “KNEW”… very well in Georgia to his body and heart just giving flat out from bad choices like you’re doing. He’s gone now but you don’t have to just run yourself in the ground. Think of those that need and LOVE YOU. Try hard Big Guy. Folks do Love you and pray for you to break free.
