The president of Keiser University's Daytona Beach campus in Florida was
mugged and carjacked over the weekend while meeting with two women for a
"sexual rendezvous," police Chief Mike Chitwood said on Monday.
When 60-year-old Matt McEnany stepped out of his 2011 Toyota Venza on
Sunday night to speak with the two women, identified only as "Luscious"
and "Brittany", he was struck from behind by a man who then shoved him
onto the road and sped off in the Toyota with the two women.
McEnany told police that he was driving to pick up the two women, both
in their early 20s, from their "grandmothers' houses." He said he met
them a few months ago after he gave them a ride when their car broke
down.
But Chitwood said McEnany "had every intention of having a rendezvous
with these women."
"As a matter of fact you could call it a sexual rendezvous," Chitwood
said.
In a 911 call, McEnany was hyperventilating as he explained to a Volusia
County sheriff's dispatcher what happened.
"I had two supposedly friends of mine needed a ride," McEnany told the dispatcher. "I pulled up here and I got out of the car and some black guy jumps me. He throws me down to the ground and starts kicking me and the two girls and the guy get in to my car and take off with it, my wallet, everything." The college president also told the dispatcher that he had $100 in his pocket "to pay a bill." The robbers made off with that, too, McEnany said in the call. When the dispatcher asked McEnany if he was giving the women a ride, he responded, "I was picking up these two girls because they needed a ride somewhere."
McEnany filled out a statement for investigators at Daytona Beach police headquarters, but police spokesman Jimmie Flynt said the statement could not be released because it's part of an ongoing investigation. The Toyota was found on Monday at 2:04am in the north parking lot of Halifax Health Medical Center, police said. A school official said McEnany was suspended over the incident. Kelli Lane, associate vice chancellor of media and public relations at Keiser said McEnany has been suspended pending a "thorough and comprehensive" investigation. Lane said the school is cooperating with police.
