\nHandler – Deputy Nathan Tibbets<\/p>\n
Audubon County Sheriff’s K9 Axel Killed By Passing Car<\/p>\n
Audubon County Sheriff’s Department K9 Axel died in an off-duty incident. K9 Axel, a Belgian Malinois, joined ACSD in 2015. K9 Axel helped take a large quantity of illegal drugs off the streets during his four years with the department. \u201cWithout Axel countless drug traffickers would still be out on our streets, and we are forever grateful to him for his selfless service,\u201d Audubon County Attorney Sarah Jennings said. \u201cHe may not have died in the line of duty, but it\u2019s not how you die that determines whether you\u2019re a hero \u2014 it\u2019s how you live,\u201d Jennings continued. \u201cHere\u2019s to honoring and remembering a hero and a great cop. Please send your thoughts and prayers to Axel\u2019s handler and partner, Nate Tibbets, and Nate\u2019s wife and family.\u201d Deputy Nathan Tibbets and K9 Axel both joined the department in the same year. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Audubon County Sheriff\u2019s Department and Deputy Tibbets in the loss of K9 Axel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
