A detective investigating Kinney was conducting a patrol in the area of Lake Harney Road and Harney Heights Road and spotted Kinney’s blue Chevy Tahoe, according to an arrest report. The detective conducted a traffic stop and Kinney, whose driver’s license was suspended and thus 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 report states.

According to the reporting deputy, the video shows an attempt to run over five deer when only one gets hit.
