A Florida<\/a> man was arrested this week after shocking video showed how he fled from a traffic stop, crashed into another car and abandoned a child while running away from sheriff\u2019s deputies.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, police attempted to pull over 24-year-old Jason Kenon, who was driving with an adult passenger and two children, ages 1 and 4, according to the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Kenon, who had multiple active warrants for his arrest, sped away and was seen zigzagging through lanes of traffic in Orlando.<\/p>\n

Deputies on the ground followed Kenon by car, while a sheriff’s helicopter kept his vehicle in sight.<\/p>\n

The overhead video from the chopper showed Kenon trying to get around a black SUV at a stop sign before he plowed into its rear end<\/a>. He continued driving after that, according to the video provided by the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Kenon proceeded to stop in a residential neighborhood, letting the adult passenger and the 1-year-old child out of the car. Deputies noted that the 4-year-old child tried to get out of the vehicle but couldn\u2019t do so before Kenon hit the gas again.<\/p>\n

Kenon then stopped near a building, got out of the car and lifted the child out of the backseat. The child followed Kenon as he ran away from police.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Kenon jogged through an alley, kicked his shoes off his feet and then began running barefoot in the opposite direction from the child, leaving him behind, according to the video.<\/p>\n

Seconds later, Kenon ran directly into the road and tried to scale a fence that led into a wooded area. Two police cars had already converged, with deputies ordering him down to the ground.<\/p>\n

Another deputy recovered the nearby child, who was crying and holding Kenon\u2019s shoes. Neither child was injured, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n

According to court records, Kenon faces seven charges, including aggravated fleeing and eluding, two counts of child neglect<\/a>, leaving the scene of a crash, reckless driving, possession of marijuana and possession of a gun during the commission of a felony.<\/p>\n

In December 2025, Kenon was sentenced to 94 days in jail by a judge in Osceola County for burglarizing a building and felony grand theft in the third degree. He had pleaded no contest to the charges.<\/p>\n

It is unclear which active warrants the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office was pursuing Kenon for during this incident. Fox News Digital reached out to the department for comment.<\/p>\n
