Quick facts:
A Wagoner County man says officials are keeping quiet after an area official hit him with his car and left him bleeding in the street.
Eric Jordan was an assistant district attorney in Tulsa County before he worked in Wagoner County. Now, he's not working for either.
This comes after Jay Kelley says Jordan ran him over and left him in the street.
Kelley said he was standing at his mailbox in a bright orange shirt at 6 p.m. February 2 when a car hit him and forced his face into the box.
"I felt like my ribs were coming through my chest," Kelley said. "There was so much pain."
Afterward, Kelley said the driver left him bruised and bleeding in the street.
"You know, he just drove off and left me there," Kelley said.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers later found Jordan, and FOX23 found an affidavit that claims he was driving drunk.

The affidavit claims Jordan was walking in a zigzag manner, had a strong odor of alcohol and admitted he had quite a bit to drink.
At one point, a deputy said Jordan was falling over.
The affidavit says Jordan asked the deputy to shoot him in the head and kill him.
Regardless of the incident, Jordan was only arrested on misdemeanor complaints of driving under the influence.
When FOX23 reached out to the arresting trooper to find out why Jordan was not arrested on a felony hit and run complaint, the trooper said he "didn't know why" and that the issue wasn't "on the top of his head."
Assistant District Attorney Jack Thorpe told FOX23 Jordan was let go. He said the attorney general will reassign his case to another county.
Now, it will be up to the Muskogee District Attorney to decide what formal charges Jordan will face.
Jordan bonded out after six hours in a holding cell at the Wagoner County Jail.
Officials said he was put in the holding cell to protect him from the general population.
Kelley says he's lucky he didn't die, and he thinks Jordan had unfair treatment because of his position.
"I'm certain if I did something to this level, it wouldn't be so quiet," Kelley said.
FOX23 only found out about the incident through a tip received days later.
