\"RaquelPORT VUE, Pa. \u2014<\/p>\n

Police say they have arrested a man who is believed to have poached and ‘malevolently’ killed deer in an Allegheny County borough. <\/p>\n

Officials say Joshua Jay Keim, nicknamed Banana Bob, was found poaching on private property in Port Vue in October. <\/p>\n

According to a criminal complaint, an officer pulled behind Keim’s ATV and activated his emergency lights at McClure Drive. He allegedly told Keim to stop the ATV repeatedly, before telling the suspect he was going to tase him if he did not stop. <\/p>\n

Keim refused and was hit by one of the darts from the officer’s Taser. <\/p>\n

The officer details following Keim through multiple streets, even going around vehicles and forcing them off the roadways.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Keim stopped on Beverly Road where he finally complied with the order to get off his ATV.<\/p>\n

Police say Keim resisted arrest and had to be tased once again to get him into the back of a cruiser. <\/p>\n

Keim was booked and taken to Allegheny County Jail for several charges, including reckless driving, fleeing or attempting to elude police, resisting arrest and agricultural trespasser. <\/p>\n

He allegedly told authorities he had been hunting, but he did not have a Pennsylvania State Hunting License. <\/p>\n

His poaching equipment has since been turned over to wildlife authorities. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PORT VUE, Pa. \u2014 Police say they have arrested a man who is believed to have poached and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":324958,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[131630,894,1646,42173,131629,131628,131632,131625,131635,81185,25027,4394,131627,131634,1399,131631,131636,4042,6439,28,73,75,74,96913,206,102688,131626,52596,41304,6371,9892,131633],"class_list":["post-324957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-agricultural-trespass","tag-allegheny-county","tag-arrest","tag-atv","tag-atv-chase","tag-banana-bob","tag-beverly-road","tag-deer-poaching","tag-emergency-light","tag-fleeing-police","tag-hunting-license","tag-jail","tag-joshua-jay-keim","tag-keim","tag-man","tag-mcclure-drive","tag-multiple-street","tag-officer","tag-official","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-poaching","tag-police","tag-police-arrest","tag-port-vue","tag-private-property","tag-reckless-driving","tag-resisting-arrest","tag-taser","tag-wildlife-authorities"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/324958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
