According to law enforcement, the man driving from Tampa to his home in Ormond Beach was arrested during a traffic stop after he was caught going 102 MPH on Interstate-4 in Polk County. The passengers in his vehicle were two small children.
A deputy from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office conducted the stop east of Polk City on a gray 2024 Toyota SUV just after 1pm. The driver was identified as 26-year-old Christian Jovanni Agosto.
During the investigation, the deputy also learned that Agosto has never been issued a driver’s license, he’s a registered gang member, and he is currently on Federal Probation for Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon.
The two children in the car were determined to be a 7-year-old and a 6-year-old.
According to local law enforcement, Agosto was arrested and taken to the Polk County Jail where he was charged with: Dangerous Excessive Speed, No Valid DL, and Child Neglect without Injury (2 counts). The Florida Department of Children & Families (DCF) was notified, and the children and the vehicle were turned over to a relative of the children.
