The detective conducted a traffic stop and Kinney, whose driver’s license was suspended and not on his person, was then interviewed regarding the alleged video ‘which (he) posted to TikTok where he intentionally used his vehicle to drive over deer,’ the arrest report stated according to Click Orlando.
