LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Indiana State Police (ISP) served six more warrants on Friday in the case against former Clark County sheriff Jamey Noel.
ISP Sgt. Ron Galaviz said the search warrants were at six separate locations, which includes fire departments.
The president of the New Albany Township Fire District confirmed with WHAS11 News one of the warrants, which was at New Chapel Fire Station 1, was served around 11 a.m.
Noel served as CEO of New Chapel EMS until the board removed him on Jan. 12.
He has been under investigation by Indiana State Police since June 2023 and was charged in November with 15 felonies, including counts of corrupt business practices, ghost employment, official misconduct, theft and tax evasion. He pleaded not guilty.
Earlier this week, new court documents revealed Noel racked up nearly $5 million in personal expenses on business credit cards connected to the Utica Township Volunteer Firefighters Association. Lead investigator and ISP Lt. Jeffrey Hearon said in a probable cause statement the charges appeared "personal" in nature and included expenditures related to department stores, cigar stores, jewelry stores, seamstresses, home supply warehouse stores, ticketed events and travel agents.
According to court documents, Hearon is also looking into Noel's massive car collection which contains 133 vehicles registered to UTVFA. A review of those vehicles showed several were "inconsistent" with a not-for-profit fire department and EMS business.
Among those 24 vehicles are several Cadillacs, Chevrolet Camaros and Chevrolet Corvettes.
In December, investigators accused Noel of unlawfully purchasing a Cessna airplane.
The investigation has since revealed Noel fathered a child with former Clark County Councilwoman Brittney Furree and is accused of making child support payments with UTVFA funds.
Last week, the special prosecutor in the case said in open court the state is prepared to move forward with charges against Noel's wife, Misty Noel. Specific charges or a timeline for filing them were not discussed.
