Bend man charged with DUII, assault in Redmond pickup-pedestrian crash that injured Warm Springs woman
REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A Bend man faces assault and DUII charges after a pickup-pedestrian crash on Highway 97 in Redmond Monday night that seriously injured a Warm Springs woman.
Jordan Keeney, 24, was arrested by Redmond police after the crash was reported around 9:22 p.m. on Highway 97 at SW Veterans Way, Oregon State Police told KTVZ News. Troopers indicated Keeney's license showed he was a Terrebonne resident, but in court records, he listed a Bend address.
OSP assisted with a crash reconstruction at the scene of the collision, which occurred near the Redmond Safeway.
Troopers said the crash victim, Melissa Bryant-Jimenez, 33, of Warm Springs, was taken by ambulance to St. Charles Bend.
Court records show Keeney was arraigned Tuesday afternoon on initial charges of third-degree assault, a Class C felony, and DUII, a Class A misdemeanor.
Prosecutors filed an initial charging document alleging Keeney "did unlawfully and recklessly cause serious physical injury" to the woman, and that a blood-alcohol test found he was above the legal limit of .08.
A jail officer confirmed to KTVZ News Circuit Judge Raymond Crutchley agreed to Keeney's conditional release from jail. He's due back in court March 3 for arraignment on an expected formal indictment.
