Federal Fugitive Captured

{Amma, West Virginia}...A federal fugitive was captured in Roane County Wednesday after U.S. Marshals got a tip that 44 year old Jerry Lee Key was hiding out at a house in Amma. Key attempted to flee on foot by running into the woods, but, after a short chase, Key tried to reach into a fanny pack, which forced Marshals to use a stun gun on him. Key was arrested on a warrant issued by the U.S. District Court of Southern West Virginia. Key was wanted for violating his federally supervised release from prison, where he had been jailed for 15 years for raping a family member. Key is also considered a person of interest in other sexual abuse cases in Kanawha County.
