Commissioner's Son Accused Of Trying To Break Into Homes

The 24-year-old son of a Central Florida commissioner was arrested Wednesday accused of trying to break into at least two homes, according to Local 6 News. Police said Justin McKinnon, who is the son of Kissimmee commissioner Wendall McKinnon, tried to enter the homes while the homeowners were inside. Homeowner Dustin Harger called 911 shortly after figuring out that McKinnon was not a repairman checking his home. "I was scared," Harger said. "I didn't know if he had a gun, if he was crazy or something like that. I hit the panic button on my car. The alarm was going off and I was hoping it would scare him off." Investigators said McKinnon has already been arrested 21 times and was on probation when he allegedly tried to break into the homes Wednesday. Local 6 News has also learned that McKinnon may also be tied to three other burglaries. McKinnon is being held without bond at the Osceola County Jail.
