The woman claimed he told her she had “two options,” to which she instantly replied, “option three.” The woman was alarmed when Keele showed her a bottle of drugs, believing he was threatening to kill himself.

She claimed that when the woman took the drugs away from Keele, he became enraged. She dashed to her car, but Keele caught her before she could shut the door.

According to the report, he entered the vehicle and zip-tied her hands together. When a car approached them, Keele began to laugh and appear as if nothing was wrong, and the woman was able to persuade him to exit her vehicle.
