Kelly suffered gunshot wounds to his neck and shoulder area and to his leg after the traffic stop erupted into a close-quarters gunfight along a busy road.
Daniel Khalil Clary, 22, of Effort, faces charges that include attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and aggravated assault.
Authorities say troopers suspected him of driving under the influence of marijuana. He was also shot.
