A former Rosebud police officer will spend two years in jail after pleading guilty to abusive sexual contact with an intoxicated teenager in his custody.
Daniel E. Kettell, 33, was sentenced in Pierre Wednesday by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Karen E. Schreier. Following his release from prison, Kettell will spend five years on supervised release and must register as a sex offender.
According to federal court documents, Kettell took an intoxicated juvenile girl into custody on July 5, 2008, in Todd County. Kettell made sexual contact while the girl was passed out in his car, removing her tank top and bra.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs and Rosebud Law Enforcement investigated.
Kettell, who is free on bond, must turn himself in on July 20 to begin serving his sentence.
