Former Florida State defensive back Chuck Kennon was arrested Monday night on three charges, according to Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office records, just one day before his dismissal from the Seminoles was confirmed.
The booking record lists aggravated fleeing to elude, false imprisonment, and resisting an officer without violence. Two of the charges are felonies, and one is a misdemeanor.
The alleged offense date is Oct. 11.
The sheriff’s office identifies him as Chauncey Alvoid Kennon. He was arrested at 9:27 p.m.
Monday and booked at 10:10 p.m. All three charges are listed as warrant charges tied to alleged offenses from Sunday, October, 11.
Kennon is being held at Falkenburg Road Jail without bail.
The record does not include details about what happened, and the charges remain allegations, not convictions.
FSU said Tuesday that Kennon was removed for “conduct detrimental to the team.”
Kennon’s exit ends a short stay in Tallahassee for Florida State’s highest-rated signee in the 2026 recruiting class. He enrolled in January but played only one snap this season, which came against Virginia.
A major recruiting win for Mike Norvell, Kennon had been a five-star prospect who picked the Seminoles over several other major programs. Now, that addition to FSU’s secondary is gone after a brief run.
The situation doesn’t dramatically change an already thin depth chart this season, but the charges are serious if they lead to convictions. Under Florida Statute 775.082, the listed maximum penalties are 15 years for aggravated fleeing to elude, five years for false imprisonment, and one year for resisting an officer without violence.

Former Mississippi State Standout Suddenly Faces NFL Uncertainty
Nineteen former Mississippi State players opened the NFL season on active rosters, a reminder of how much Bulldogs talent is still spread across the league. Dak Prescott has been turning in strong work as a passer, Duane Brown earned a high offensive grade, Cameron Emerson made it back from an Achilles injury to help the New Orleans Saints, and Carlos Simmons has continued producing for the Tennessee Titans.
One of the more unexpected developments came with Robert Sweat, whose place in Chicago suddenly shifted from routine roster note to a much bigger question. The Bears handed the defensive end a suspension that will keep him out for two games, and the situation now adds another layer of uncertainty for a player Mississippi State fans have kept tabs on since his college days.

Mississippi State Heads Into LSU With One Huge Kamario Taylor Question
Kamario Taylors availability has become the biggest pregame issue hanging over Mississippi State as it heads to LSU, with the quarterback listed as questionable because of a turf toe injury. Taylor has been working to get himself ready and has been described as day-to-day, but the uncertainty around him has lingered right up to the eve of kickoff.
The injury has been a concern since the end of the Missouri game, and there is still real doubt about whether he can suit up against LSU. Less than 24 hours before the game, Mississippi State is waiting on a decision that could shape how the Bulldogs handle one of their toughest matchups of the season. [Read more 🡒]
Mississippi States Season May Hinge On One Josh Hubbard Question
Josh Hubbard heads into his senior season with the kind of recognition that puts a spotlight on everything Mississippi State does. The Bulldogs standout guard was named preseason first-team All-SEC, and after a roster overhaul, Chris Jans is trying to build a team that does not ask Hubbard to carry every possession the way it often has in the past.
That is where the new pieces come in, even if the fit is still taking shape. Mississippi State added help across the roster, including RJ Johnson and Thomas Bassong, with the goal of finding a more balanced identity and a rotation the staff can trust. For the Bulldogs, the bigger question is not just how productive Hubbard can be again, but how quickly the rest of the roster turns that talent into something steadier and more sustainable.
