New Rooks County Sheriff Appointed

Rooks County Undersheriff Chad Sterling is the county’s new sheriff.

Gov. Sam Brownback has appointed Sterling to fill the unexpired term of Randy Axelson, who resigned in May after being charged with methamphetamine distribution.  The 43-year-old Axelson faces nine felony counts of methamphetamine distribution. He is free on $45,000 bond.

Rooks County Republicans forwarded Sterling’s name to Brownback.
