Fort Myers Police Department arrested suspect Kevin Agenord, 24, in Fort Myers Friday after he was accused of sexual assault at a senior home and a burglary at a separate home.

It comes as a relief for community and law enforcement after the suspect was on the run for more than 24 hours.

We were the only news crew on scene as police brought the Agenord into custody for questioning.

As our crew pulled up to Canal Street, they saw Agenord in handcuffs being put into a police cruiser. They also saw officers holding pieces of evidence, including putting a bicycle into a cruiser at one point.

We don’t yet know what led police to Agenord’s arrest location.

Agenord has an extensive arrest history with past charges related to domestic violence cruelty toward minors, assault of first responders and criminal mischief.

Agenord faces charges for burglary with assault, kidnap false imprisonment (child under 13 years old) and lewd lascivious behavior. Several other charges are pending the processing of DNA evidence.

Agenord is in custody at Lee County Jail. His bond was set at $70,000 on Saturday. His conditions for release include GPS monitoring and he must stay away from the site of offense, have no contact with the victim and family and no unsupervised contact with minor children.

His next court date is set June 29 at 8:30 a.m.
