Bodycam shows dad bolt from cops with young child in his arms before ditching her alone in the woods

Body camera footage shows the harrowing moment a Florida man fled police with his child in his arms before ditching the youngster alone in the woods in an alleged attempt to evade being arrested.  

The incident unfolded Saturday, when officers with the Daytona Beach Police Department pulled over Cory Acree, 47, after they determined his car matched the description of a vehicle involved in a shooting, according to News 6. 

As officers began questioning Acree, they reportedly noticed a small baggie wedged between the door and driver’s seat. 

Authorities subsequently ordered Acree to step out of the car, at which point Acree allegedly sped off in his vehicle with his young child still in the car.

“He’s taking off,” an officer can be heard saying as he rushed to pursue Acree in his police vehicle. 

The video then shows Acree parking his vehicle and fleeing on foot with his daughter in tow. 

“Got a Black male bailing out, small child, small child,” the officer can be heard saying as Acree ran into the woods. “Little baby bailing out with him.”

GOT A TIP?

The chase quickly turns chaotic as officers chase Acree through the wooded area and order him to get on the ground.  

“Someone get that kid out of here,” an officer yells as Acree is handcuffed.

Officers quickly located the young girl nearby alone in the woods, who told officers she was experiencing pain in her legs and arm as she was being carried away from the scene.

“My dad was going faster,” the child said, eliciting a laugh from the deputy.

Several officers worked together to comfort the youngster by offering up toys — including her very own police badge sticker and a uniformed rubber duck. 

Acree is then seen handcuffed and seated on the ground as he is taken into custody.

“Everything that has happened to you tonight, sir, is a direct result of your actions,” the officer is heard saying.

Acree was transported to the Volusia County Jail, where he remains in custody without bond on several charges, including child abuse, trafficking fentanyl, trafficking methamphetamine and fleeing a law enforcement officer, according to jail records obtained by Fox News Digital.

Authorities also determined Acree was involved in the shooting that prompted the original traffic stop, but have not released additional information regarding the investigation, News 6 reported. 

The Daytona Beach Police Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Joey Chestnut reveals foods he won’t eat in competition as he tours Minor League stadiums for local delicacies

Published

Joey Chestnut will eat almost anything.

The 17-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest champion is the greatest competitive eater of all time, once even chowing down cow-brain tacos.

But there are two foods that are off-limits.

“The only things that would stop me is if I’m, like, really worried about getting sick,” Chestnut said (apparently, no concerns about cow brain). “Like raw oysters. I’d have to be really confident that these oysters are coming from somewhere where I’m not going to get sick.”

There are some foods that seem tasty at first, but they do provide difficulties for Chestnut. Popcorn causes chapped lips and bloating due to swallowing air, and Twinkies provide a “sugar headache.”

“But if I do my prep right going in, I feel pretty good,” he said confidently.

There is one more “oyster” though, made from an animal’s – let’s say – body part, that is not on Chestnut’s menu.

“There was a casino that wanted to do Rocky Mountain oysters. And their track record wasn’t good on preparing them,” Chestnut recalled.

“They’re bull testicles. I kind of rejected that one.”

This summer, though, tasty delights are on the table, as Chestnut is partnering with Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH) to visit Minor League ballparks nationwide this season to take on some of the signature dishes that define the club’s communities.

Chestnut traveled to Wichita last month to tackle chili buns, a Midwestern dish that is a combination of chili and cinnamon buns. In Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he’ll go with pierogis, and in upstate New York, he’ll try his hand at cider donuts. Cheeseburger dogs are also on deck in Reading, Pennsylvania.

“I’m super pumped. Minor League ballparks are always fun, just great atmospheres. I think Minor League ballparks are responsible for Major League ballparks stepping up their food game, so I’m going to be doing some good eating,” Chestnut said.

“There’s gonna be some good ones. I think it’s a huge burger they’re building in Birmingham that will be the biggest burger in Minor League baseball. Tacos next week.”

Chestnut will go for 18 Nathan’s titles on July 4.
