Florida man charged with animal torture after hitting deer with car for TikTok Seminole County Sheriff’s Office27-year-old Clay Kinney has been charged with five counts of animal torment and one count of animal torture after deliberately hitting a deer with his car for a TikTok video. A 27-year-old Florida resident named Clay Kinney has been hit with a bevy of charges after uploading a grisly video to TikTok. In the video, Kinney attempted to run over five deer, but only struck one, fatally injuring the animal. According to reports from local news outlet Fox 35, the Seminole County Sheriff\u2019s Office began investigating Kinney after becoming aware of the video. Florida man arrested for hitting deer with car for TikTok video A detective with the Sheriff\u2019s Office saw Kinney in the Geneva area and pulled him over for a traffic stop, where he learned that Kinney\u2019s license was suspended. The detective then asked Kinney about the video \u2014 and he admitted to running over the deer with his Blue Chevy Tahoe and filming the act for TikTok. As a result, Kinney was arrested and charged with one count of animal torture, five counts of animal torment, and one count of a moving traffic violation, as per an affidavit obtained by Fox 35. This isn\u2019t the first time Kinney has gotten on the wrong side of the law due to deer-related incidents, either. In 2021, Kinney was arrested for \u201cpossessing a baby fawn during the closed hunting season,\u201d after law enforcement responded to a crash at Geneva\u2019s Snow Hill Road. The officer reportedly witnessed Kinney set loose a fawn he had in a dog crate in his vehicle, as per arrest records. Kinney later admitted to parking on the side of the road to retrieve the fawn when he\u2019d been rear-ended. According to Kinney, he\u2019d wanted to take the fawn home and release it on his property. He ended up getting released on bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
