An arrest warrant for Keene says the crimes happened Aug. 21. According to the warrant, two men visiting from Cincinnati were giving Keene a ride home when Keene pulled a gun while in the back seat and fired a round into the car radio. The front seat passenger jumped from the moving vehicle, but Keene held gun to the head of the driver and demanded he drive him around.
Keene forced the man to drive him to Top Hill Road and Mitchell Hill Road, a very secluded area in southern Jefferson County near the Bullitt County line. After Keene ordered the man to park the car, the driver was able to flee and ran to a nearby home seeking held. Keene fired at him several times, but was not hit.
Responding officers found Keene passed out on a porch in the same area. A backpack found near him contained two handguns. Police also found 11 grams of heroin in Keene's front pants pocket.
Keene, a convicted felon, is being held on a $150,000 cash bond at Louisville Metro Corrections. He is charged with one count of robbery, one count of possession of a handgun by a convicted felon, three counts of wanton endangerment, one count of kidnapping, one count of criminal mischief, one count of assault and one count of trafficking in a controlled substance.

A check of Keene's criminal history shows he was convicted in August 2009 of facilitation to murder and facilitation to robbery in the May 2008 shooting death of Jamie Fey, Jr., 19. Octavian McGraw is serving a 22 year sentence for pulling the trigger.
The passenger was treated for the injuries he suffered after jumping from the moving car. The driver was not injured.
