Chuck Kennon, the Florida State freshman cornerback who was dismissed from the program earlier this week, allegedly reached speeds in excess of 150 mph and would not let a woman out of the car while being pursued by Florida Highway Patrol officers Sunday near Tampa, Florida.
Kennon, 18, was arrested and charged with second-degree felony aggravated fleeing to elude, third-degree felony false imprisonment and resisting an officer without violence, a misdemeanor.
According to the arrest report obtained by WCTV in Tallahassee, a female passenger told troopers that Kennon wouldn't let her exit the vehicle after asking him "more than 10 times to stop" and that she "feared for her safety."
According to the report, a black SUV was clocked going 70 mph in a 50 mph zone and, when troopers tried to make the traffic stop, the driver ran a red light, hit a curb and pulled away from the troopers at speeds of more than 150 mph. The SUV later came to a stop with a flat tire, and Kennon fled on foot.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers and deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, with K9 support, found Kennon a short time later and arrested him.
An hour later, the report said, troopers found the woman "with lacerations to her arm wearing a bodysuit covered in dirt stains, blood and grass." According to the arrest report, she said she was in the SUV with Kennon before changing her story and saying she had been at a friend's house. After being placed in handcuffs, she told troopers that she had been with Kennon but that she was "in fear for her life" during the chase.
The school confirmed Kennon's dismissal to ESPN on Tuesday, citing "conduct detrimental to the team." The Sarasota, Florida, native was no longer listed on Florida State's roster as of Tuesday morning. He was the Seminoles' top-rated recruit in this year's class and the No. 56 overall recruit on the SC Next ESPN 300.
He played only one snap for the Seminoles this season, on Oct. 3 against Virginia.
