Kiser was booked Friday into the jail and served two days for a traffic case out of Madison County Municipal Court, Springhetti said.
Kiser, of Granville, also had several traffic cases out of Licking County, including:
• 7 previous traffic stops from May 2018 to September 2019, the most recent before Monday’s incident
• 4 speeding citations
• 5 traffic stops by the patrol
• $1,813 in fines, court costs and other expenses paid from traffic violations
The patrol continues to investigate what happened early Monday.
The trooper involved began pursuing Kiser around 1:14 a.m. after he allegedly was speeding while headed west on U.S. 35 near the Interstate 675 interchange. The pursuit ended on Ohio 49 near the Olive Road intersection when Kiser stopped the vehicle in the middle of the roadway.
The trooper, who was not injured, fired three shots and struck Kiser three times during the confrontation, according to the patrol.
