Keetle, Hartl Announced As New Antelope County Deputies

Sheriff Bob Moore announces Shelby Keetle as a new deputy of Antelope County. Hank Hartl was also announced as a deputy but was not in attendance.

​Antelope County will soon have two new deputies, including a very familiar face.

Sheriff Bob Moore announced the hiring of Shelby Keetle and Hank Hartl as new deputies with the county.

Keetle, who has an associate’s degree in law enforcement, is a 2016 graduate of Neligh-Oakdale and has worked for the county for several years as a jailer. Moore said she will begin as a deputy on February 1.

Hartl currently is employed by the City of Stanton. He will join the Antelope County Sheriff’s Department on March 1.

With the hires, Antelope County is again at full force with Keetle and Hartl joining Chief Deputy Dan Hallock and Sergeant John Shaver. The county recently lost Darin Ternus, who was hired by the City of Neligh Police Department, and Doug Hartman, who is now a deputy with the Clay County Sheriff’s Department.
