LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Indiana State Police (ISP) has served more warrants during their investigation into the former Clark County Sheriff accused of 15 felonies.
ISP Sgt. Carey Huls confirmed the warrants were served on Wednesday. It is unclear how many warrants they served or where they served them.
The former sheriff, Jamey Noel, was arrested in early November. He is accused of having county employees work on his personal property and run errands for him while on the clock.
He is charged with corrupt business influence, theft, official misconduct and ghost employment.
According to court documents released earlier this month, prosecutors allege Noel paid at least four Clark County Jail maintenance employees to perform various tasks on his personal property while being paid by the county. Work sites included rental homes owned by Noel, his personal residence and a pole barn.
It appears investigators are also looking into Noel's massive car collection.
According to court documents, 133 vehicles are registered to the Utica Township Volunteer Fire Department and New Chapel EMS. A review of those vehicles showed several were "inconsistent" with a not-for-profit fire department and EMS business, including several new or newer Cadillacs, Dodges and Camaros.
Noel runs the New Chapel EMS and Utica Township Volunteer Fire Fighters Association.
Noel's next court appearance is scheduled for Jan. 8, 2024. A jury trial is expected to be on May 6, 2024.
