There s a 38-year-old guy named William James Walker in Orange Park, Florida, just outside of Jacksonville in the northeast part of the state.
And last month, he stole a trailer from a parking lot outside a Days Inn.
And inside the trailer was . . . about $12,000 worth of
Lynyrd Skynyrd memorabilia. The stuff was going to be sold at a cancer charity benefit in honor of
Jimmie Van Zant.
The most valuable item in the trailer was a 1957 Les Paul guitar signed by several rock stars, plus a whole bunch of other Skynyrd stuff.
The police are still hunting for William . . . and he s looking at a felony grand theft charge.

Orange Park police on Friday posted an alert naming a suspect in the case as event organizers find ways to raise funds that could have come from selling items like a stolen 1957 Goldtop Les Paul guitar signed by Gregg Allman, Brian Howe, Butch Trucks and others. The department said an arrest warrant for grand theft has been issued for 38-year-old William James Walker of the Jacksonville area.
