On Dec. 14, 2011, New Carlisle Police and the LaPorte County Sheriff’s Department linked Keller with the December theft of the Bobcat from a construction site in Hudson Township in northeastern LaPorte County.

LaPorte County Sheriff Mike Mollenhauer credits the communication between the New Carlisle Police Department and LaPorte County Sheriff’s Office. “We take great pride in the cooperative spirit of law enforcement in the LaPorte County area and this latest example of teamwork across county lines,” Mollenhauer said in a press release.
Keller was being held at LaPorte County Jail on $1,210 bond.
