Summary
Orange County deputies arrested 24-year-old Jason Kenon after he allegedly fled a traffic stop with an adult passenger and two children, then crashed and ran off with a 4-year-old before leaving the child behind.
Sheriff’s video showed Kenon, who had multiple active warrants, zigzagging through Orlando traffic, rear-ending a black SUV, dropping off the adult and a 1-year-old in a neighborhood, then driving off again when the 4-year-old could not get out.
Near a building, Kenon pulled the 4-year-old from the back seat and ran as the child followed; he then kicked off his shoes, sprinted away barefoot and was cornered by deputies as the child stood nearby crying and holding the shoes.
Both children were uninjured, and Kenon now faces seven charges including aggravated fleeing and eluding, two counts of child neglect, leaving the scene of a crash, reckless driving, marijuana possession and possessing a firearm during a felony.
Court records show Kenon was sentenced in December 2025 to 94 days in jail in Osceola County after pleading no contest to burglary and third-degree grand theft charges.
