Two South Georgia men are in the Calhoun County jail, charged with stealing $20,000 worth of pecans and a trailer. They got caught thanks to a stump.

Investigators say 20-year-old Royce Palmer of Tifton and 19-year-old Brandon Ellerbee of Worth County stole a trailer full of pecans from Graham Angus Farms in Calhoun County October 17th.

They say the men sold the pecans to a dealer in Irwin County then tried to sink the trailer in the Alapaha River, but it got caught on a stump.

Irwin County deputies found the partially submerged trailer, leading to the men's arrest.
