Gilbert Father’s Drug Charges Suspended for Rehab Program Amid Sons’ Violent Crime Legal Woes

In the East Valley, Travis Renner, a father facing drug charges, has had those charges suspended pending his completion of a two-year program. Gilbert Police found psychedelic mushrooms in his bedroom during a January raid. A court has decided to set aside the charges as Renner begins a court-ordered drug and counseling program, according to

FOX 10 Phoenix.

Amidst this family’s turmoil, Travis’s children are facing grave legal challenges of their own. His son, Talan Renner, is charged as an adult in the murder of Preston Lord, a crime committed at a Halloween party in 2023 where Lord was fatally injured. Talan, whose trial is slated for July 2025, was released on bond after a judge agreed to a reduction to $500,000. Meanwhile, 19-year-old Kyler Renner, Travis’s other son, is currently serving a two-year prison sentence for his participation in a different chain of violent episodes, including an assault in a Gilbert parking garage in December 2022, and for drug offenses involving fentanyl.

Details of Kyler Renner’s entanglement with the law reveal a troubled past punctuated by aggressive behavior and substance abuse. As part of a plea agreement, he conceded to charges including solicitation to commit possession of narcotic drugs for sale, possession of drug paraphernalia, and aggravated assault. This plea followed his participation in an attack carried out by a group of teens and young adults at a parking garage in downtown Gilbert, a detail uncovered by the

. One of the assailants had brass knuckles, though it remains unclear if they were used against the victim.

The “Gilbert Goons,” a group tied to recent violent incidents, gained attention again after the murder of Preston Lord. Police have linked Kyler Renner and another suspect to the group. After a March 2023 traffic stop, Renner was arrested with drugs, including fentanyl, meant for distribution. Police reports reveal he admitted to taking 30 fentanyl pills a day, highlighting the severity of his addiction.
