Coffee Cup Clue Leads To Arrest Of Two Cantonment Men For Stealing $7,000 In Wire, Tools
March 26, 2026
Two men were arrested, thanks to a coffee cup, following a business burglary in Cantonment where 18 vehicles were entered and $7,000 in equipment and wire was stolen .
James Allen Casey, 46, and Michael Sheldon Lay II, 37, are both facing multiple charges including 18 counts of burglary of an unoccupied conveyance, grand theft, and trespassing.
According to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred early in the morning on March 19, 2026, at a Pike Electric supply and equipment yard on Becks Lake Road. A foreman at the facility reported that trail camera footage showed two subjects wearing camouflage walking onto the property and removing copper wire and tools.
Deputies determined that the suspects gained access to the yard by cutting a chain-link fence. Once inside, they allegedly broke into 18 trucks and stole approximately $6,000 worth of solid and stranded copper wire, a gas-powered drill valued at $500, and a chainsaw valued at $500.
Investigating deputies discovered a fresh coffee cup from a nearby convenience store on the trail used by the suspects. Surveillance video from Cumberland Farms at 392 North Highway 29 showed two men matching the descriptions from the trail camera—one in a camouflage jumpsuit and another in camouflage pants and a hat—purchasing coffee and leaving in a white Dodge Dakota. An image from Highway 29 and Tree Street also showed the same vehicle.
The vehicle was described as a Dodge Dakota with a white front end, white doors with brown or gold bottom, having a dark bed and black wheels.
Authorities later located the vehicle at a residence in Cantonment. Investigators used prior traffic stop records and driver’s license photos to positively identify both men.
Both suspects were booked into the Escambia County Jail with a bond set at $51,000 each.

Annual GCA & NRYO Spring Livestock Show Is Friday And Saturday
March 26, 2026
The next generation of agricultural leaders is preparing to step into the spotlight as the Gulf Coast Agriculture and Natural Resources Youth Organization (GCA & NRYO) hosts its Annual Spring Livestock Show this weekend.
The event kicks off Friday at 1 p.m. and continues Saturday, at 9 a.m. at the Escambia County 4-H Livestock Facility at 5701 Highway 99 near Molino.
This year’s showcase arrives amid a significant surge in interest. Organizers say the show has nearly doubled in size compared to previous years, a growth they believe reflects an increasing interest among youth in agriculture, livestock management, and hands-on learning experiences.
Visitors can expect to see a wide variety of livestock, including hogs, cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, and rabbits. For the exhibitors, the event is the culmination of months of early mornings and rigorous responsibility. Beyond the technical aspects of agricultural knowledge, organizers say the projects help local youth develop dedication and responsibility as they prepare their animals for judging.
The weekend is more than just a competition; organizers describe it as a “great opportunity for the community to come together and support the next generation of agricultural leaders.”
The festivities will conclude Saturday with a market animal auction. The auction allows community members to directly support the exhibitors, with proceeds designated to help the youth continue their agricultural education and invest in future projects.
The event is free and open to the public. Organizers are encouraging families and supporters to attend to celebrate hard work and learn more about the impact of local agriculture.
On Saturday, the event will be concurrently with the annual Blue Jacket Jamboree, which will be ongoing from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m with crafts, a car show, kids zone, egg drop (11 a.m.), and more. Admission is free.

Community Rallies To Support Injured Father Of Three; Here’s How To Help
March 26, 2026
March 2 was a day that turned the world upside down for RJ Bilbro and his wife Maegan of Molino.
RJ, the proud father of two young children with a third on the way, was at work as a roll-off dumpster truck driver for a private company at Escambia County’s Palafox Transfer Station when he was critically injured. He’s still in the hospital in Birmingham with injuries that will impact him for the rest of his life. He’s undergone multiple surgeries, almost every day since the accident.
“He’s improving a little more every day and continuing to make steady progress. We’re taking things one day at a time,” Maegan said Wednesday. “While there’s no exact release date yet, we’re hopeful he’s moving in the right direction.”
Maegan stepped away from work to be by RJ’s side in Birmingham. Maegan has not left his side, spending every night sleeping in a reclining chair in his hospital room so she can be there for him every moment.
With two boys, ages 2 and 4 at home with their grandparents, and baby girl Rylee due in late August, it’s been financially tough for the family.
A community diaper and wipes drive and a GoFundMe was created to benefit the family.
“The donations mean everything to our family right now. They help ease the financial stress so we can focus on his recovery and being together through this,” Maegan said. “We’re incredibly grateful for the support, prayers, and generosity; it truly makes a difference.”
Diapers and wipes to help them prepare for the new baby can be dropped off at the front counter at Back to the Rack Thrift Store at 433 South Highway 29 in Cantonment, Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. (just tell them it’s for the Bilbros) or CrossFaith Church at 5701 Highway 29, on Sundays from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. (look for the donation box).

Walnut Hill Woman Charged For Alleged Facebook Death Threat Over Mutual ‘Baby Daddy’
March 25, 2026
A Walnut Hill woman is facing a felony charge after allegedly posting online threats to kill or cause bodily harm to another woman who shares the same “baby daddy.”
According to a Pensacola Police Department warrant affidavit, officers responded to a harassment complaint on June 17, 2024. The victim reported that 41-year-old Kizzi Sherae Graham had been making threatening posts on Facebook.
On Monday, Graham was arrested on an outstanding warrant, charging her with one felony count of written or electronic threats to kill or do bodily injury. She remained in the Escambia County Jail Wednesday morning with bond set at $10,000.
Investigators state the dispute began over a social media post involving a mutual “baby daddy.” Graham allegedly posted threats to “drag,” “beat,” and “put hands on” the victim at her place of employment. One post, which remained visible to police, explicitly warned the victim to “be ready” the next time they crossed paths, the affidavit states.
The victim provided screenshots of the messages to law enforcement as evidence.
