Seminole County assistant principal arrested on DUI charges after e-bike ride
Bodycam footage shows Kenneth Bevan Jr. arrested after deputies say he rode an e-bike while impaired in Seminole County. The case quickly spread through local social media.
Body camera footage shows Seminole County sheriff’s deputies arresting Winter Springs High School assistant principal Kenneth Bevan Jr. on DUI charges after they said he kept riding an electric bicycle while impaired. The case has drawn attention across Seminole County because it involves a campus leader and because the alleged offense happened on an e-bike, not in a car.
Deputies said Bevan had already been warned to walk the bike home after leaving a local bar. Even after that warning, he was later spotted again riding the e-bike, which deputies treated as enough to continue the DUI investigation. One account of the stop says he was asked to leave the bar, walked the bike to a nearby 7-Eleven, bought a 12-pack of Budweiser, loaded it into the bicycle basket and rode away before being stopped.
The footage and the arrest turned a routine night encounter into a school-system issue. Bevan was identified as an assistant principal at Winter Springs High School in Seminole County, putting him in one of the most visible roles on campus. For parents, teachers and staff, the arrest raises immediate questions about the standards expected of employees who help lead a school and model behavior for students.
The incident also highlights a point many riders may not understand clearly: an electric bicycle does not automatically keep someone out of DUI territory. In this case, deputies said impairment, the prior warning and the decision to keep riding led to arrest and body camera documentation. That combination made the case stand out in a county where school leaders are expected to be steady figures in front of students and families.
The arrest spread quickly through Instagram and Facebook reposts, where clips and captions focused on the bodycam video and the fact that an assistant principal was accused of riding intoxicated on an e-bike. In Seminole County, the episode now sits at the intersection of law enforcement, school leadership and public trust, with the school community left watching how the district handles one of its most visible administrators.
