Former Indiana sheriff Jamey Noel sentenced to 15 years in prison as part of plea deal Noel is likely to spend up to 10
Here we have a person who was in a position of authority--now sentenced to jail.
His fellow inmates will probably not treat him too well IMHO.
Former Indiana sheriff Jamey Noel sentenced to 15 years in prison as part of plea deal
Noel is likely to spend up to 10 of those years actually behind bars. He’s also on the hook for millions in restitution and fines
Former Clark County Sheriff and longtime Republican operative Jamey Noel could spend upwards of a decade in prison after a judge accepted his guilty pleas to more than a dozen felony charges in court Monday. The plea deal brings a close to Noel’s portion of the case — dubbed the largest in agency history by state police — but other investigations are ongoing.
Noel was originally charged with 31 felonies for allegedly misusing money from the fire and EMS departments which he oversaw. He pleaded guilty to 27 of those in August.
Special Judge Larry Medlock, of Washington County, officially accepted Noel’s plea following two hours of victim testimony in open court on Monday. Twenty-one statements were provided, including from members of law enforcement who formerly worked with or under Noel, and by Hoosiers in Clark County and neighboring communities whose lives have been “upended” by the former sheriff’s actions.
In many cases described, it was Noel’s mismanagement of millions in taxpayer dollars which victims said will scar their families and communities for “years to come.”............
