A shocking incident unfolded in Geneva, Florida, when a man intentionally ran over a deer and filmed it for TikTok. The suspect, identified as Clay Kinney, a 27-year-old resident of Geneva, was subsequently apprehended by the authorities. Kinney now faces serious charges, including five counts of animal torment and one count of animal torture. In addition, he was charged with a moving traffic violation.

The Seminole County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into Kinney after receiving information about the disturbing video. According to an affidavit obtained by FOX 35 Orlando, the footage depicted Kinney deliberately targeting a group of five deer, resulting in the death of one of them. The video, which circulated on TikTok, caused outrage among viewers and prompted swift action from law enforcement.

On Thursday, a vigilant detective spotted Kinney driving a Chevy Tahoe, the same vehicle seen in the video. Seizing the opportunity, the officer conducted a traffic stop and engaged in a conversation with Kinney. It was during this interaction that Kinney made a shocking admission - he confessed to driving without a valid license. The affidavit stated, "[The detective] made contact with the driver, Clay Kinney, who acknowledged he did not have a driver's license due to the fact it was suspended." The detective was already aware of Kinney's suspended license and proceeded to question him about the video he had posted on TikTok.

According to the affidavit, Kinney confirmed his involvement in the video, admitting that he intentionally used his vehicle to run over the deer. The footage revealed that Kinney attempted to strike all five deer but was successful in hitting only one. The callous act of animal cruelty shocked the local community and triggered an active investigation by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office.

As the investigation continues, the authorities have yet to release any additional details regarding the incident. The Seminole County Sheriff's Office is committed to thoroughly examining the case and ensuring that justice is served for the innocent animal that lost its life due to Kinney's actions.

In light of this disturbing incident, Fox News Digital reached out to TikTok for comment. However, as of now, no response has been received from the social media platform. The incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers associated with the misuse of social media and the need for responsible online behavior.

The arrest of Clay Kinney sends a strong message that acts of animal cruelty will not be tolerated. The local community, as well as animal rights activists, hope that this case will serve as a deterrent and raise awareness about the importance of respecting and protecting wildlife.
