Officers were trying to question Keys after getting a call of a suspicious person in the area. The officer jumped out of the way and was not hurt. Other officers stopped Keys’ car and he is charged with second offense O-W-I, driving with a suspended license and assault with intent to cause serious injury to a police officer.
