The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office in Florida announced Wednesday the arrest of a hit-and-run suspect after he led deputies and local police on “possibly the slowest chase in FCSO history.”

According to the sheriff’s office, a victim reported on Sept. 25 that he was a passenger in a black Kia Sorrento driven by 33-year-old Kyle McNary, who “wouldn’t drive faster than 15 to 20 miles an hour.”

McNary stopped, so the two men could switch places, but the victim reported he instead ran out into the street and waved at passing cars.

The victim eventually got McNary back into the passenger seat of the car, but as he was getting in to drive, McNary allegedly kicked him out of the vehicle and “sped” away, leaving him.

A good Samaritan stopped to help the victim and let him sit in their car until law enforcement arrived.

Meanwhile, McNary was allegedly involved in a hit-and-run accident involving injuries at the intersection of U.S. Route 1 and Otis Stone Hunter Road. The victim reported that McNary suddenly stopped his vehicle in front of the vehicle she was riding in, causing the driver to hit the rear of McNary’s vehicle.

Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Bunnell Police Department officers “quickly” located McNary driving “slowly” on U.S. 1.

Both agencies tried to stop McNary, but he allegedly kept driving away.

Deputies deployed stop sticks, and despite deflating one of the tires on his SUV, he continued to drive away, “traveling at two to three miles per hour.”

After making “several” U-turns across the median, the SUV McNary was driving got stuck in a ditch alongside the road during heavy rain.

Deputies approached the SUV, using a shatterball to breach the rear window, and eventually McNary came out with his hands up.

The sheriff’s office said McNary is known to the department. On Aug. 29, deputies responded to a call involving McNary, who allegedly got into a physical fight with a deputy. After being transported to a hospital and handcuffed to a bed, “McNary threatened to fight all law enforcement officers.” When he was discharged and a deputy moved to uncuff him, McNary allegedly bit the deputy.

“This dirtbag has a history of threatening and attacking Deputy Sheriffs, and during his recent criminal act he seriously injured a person in a crash, and we wish them a speedy recovery,” Sheriff Rick Staly said in a statement. “But for McNary it looks like he needs an extended stay at the Green Roof Inn. This guy needs to be locked up, so he doesn’t injure anyone else or kill someone with his actions.”

McNary was arrested for simple battery, failing to stop/remain at a crash involving serious bodily injury, fleeing and eluding law enforcement, obstruction without violence, battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting a law enforcement officer with violence – aggravated assault, assault on a law enforcement officer, and threat with death or serious bodily harm. He was also arrested by Bunnell Police for domestic battery.

He was transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, where he is being held without bond.
