DAYTONA BEACH — A 44-year-old man hurled racial slurs and pieces of bricks at neighborhood children, police said, but was arrested and being held Wednesday without bail.

Larry Kenton tried to pedal away from police on his ex-wife’s bicycle, but was caught and charged with three counts of aggravated child abuse, driving under the influence, driving with a revoked/suspended license, battery and resisting an officer without violence, according to arrest and jail records.

According to Kenton’s arrest report, police were called to a Whitney Street home Monday at 6:25 p.m. where an intoxicated Kenton was causing a disturbance.

When police arrived at the scene, they saw Kenton riding away on his ex-wife’s bicycle and ordered him to stop. But Kenton kept riding and police set up a perimeter to find him, reports state.

Kenton’s ex-wife reported that he came to the home to get some of his belongings but the ex-wife told him to go away.

Kenton then pushed his way into the home and started arguing with his daughter over her dating a black youth, calling his daughter a “(expletive) lover,” police said.

He “tried to go after” his daughter but the ex-wife got between them, investigators said.

When Kenton exited the home he saw a black boy and yelled, “You are the one,” and grabbed the juvenile and hit him in the face and head area, then started choking him, reports state. Kenton then picked up a brick and struck the boy in the back of the head with it, police said.

An unidentified man came to help the boy and Kenton then started making racial insults about at other children playing nearby, police said. He picked pieces of brick and threw them at the children, striking two of them, police said.
