When marshals arrived to a residence at Amma, Key was spotted running through the woods.
After a short chase, they say he tried to reach into a fanny pack, which forced Marshals to use a stun gun on him.
Key has been wanted on charges of violating his parole.
He recently served 15 years in prison on firearm charges, which stem from the sexual assault of a family member.
