9/18/14 - A former out-of-state police officer facing felony charges for allegedly sexually assaulting an acquaintance that lives near him in Hartland Township will remain behind bars for at least another week. 32-year-old Jordan Andrew Keilman is charged with 1st degree home invasion, 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct during a felony, assault with intent to commit sexual penetration and resisting/obstructing a police officer. Keilmnan is alleged to have entered a female neighborâs home without permission on September 2nd, assaulted her and later threatened arresting officers. A $300,000 cash or surety bond was previously set for Keilman, but during a hearing Tuesday, Keilmanâs attorney sought a reduction in that amount, noting that his client had been accepted into an outpatient treatment program through Veterans Administration and a residential facility in Westland that would provide transportation to outpatient treatment. The defense also sought Keilmanâs release to his father so he could get started on treatment. Prosecutors again objected and the court adjourned the matter for one more week, requesting that prosecutors speak with the V.A. about Keilmanâs treatment and discuss the issue of public safety. Keilman is a former U.S. Army Ranger who worked for the Apex Police Department in North Carolina in 2012 but was reportedly terminated for on the job behavioral issues.
