Filler-loving Indiana sheriff's wife ruins plea deal with arrogant TV interview
A lip filler-loving sheriff's wife ruined her own plea deal after a judge heard an arrogant TV interview she gave just before court. Misty Noel, 51, along with her estranged husband Jamey Noel, 54, and their daughter, Kasey Noel, 28, were charged with a slew of felonies in 2024 for spending as much as $5 million on credit cards the disgraced sheriff opened in the name of the volunteer fire agency he ran in southern Indiana, authorities said. The specific expenditures allegedly made by various members of the Noel family included $56,000 on luxury cigars, more than $300,000 on vacation and travel, $25,000 on a small plane, cosmetic procedures, tanning, clothing, and vape products, according to search warrants for the family's homes and cars. While Jamey, the former Clark County Sheriff, accepted his own plea deal nearly a year after he and his family were arrested in 2023, Misty pleaded guilty just last week. Misty was sentenced to 18 months in prison on Thursday, but just a day before, she sat down for a one-on-one interview sharing her side of the story. During the interview with WLKY, Misty said she did not 'knowingly and intentionally' commit the crime of theft, Special Judge Larry Medlock ruled Monday before throwing her plea deal out the window. 'As far as there being intent, I never intended to hurt people. I've worked my whole life as a nurse. I have worked this entire time and, you know, my position is to take care of people,' Misty said in the interview. 'So the fact that, even though what I've done was unknowingly, but it has harmed a series of people, and not just my children, but other people who have been drug [sic] into this - it's pained me and it's really saddened me.' In 2024, Misty, her estranged husband Jamey Noel, 54, and their daughter, Kasey Noel, 28, were charged with a slew of felonies for spending as much as $5 million on the credit cards Jamey had opened in the name of the volunteer fire agency he ran. (Pictured: Misty and Jamey) After the judge watched the damning two-part interview, he decided a jury will now have to determine if she is guilty or not. 'The court cannot find an individual guilty if they profess and maintain their innocence,' Medlock wrote. He said the guilty plea will now be axed and a trial date will soon be set for Misty. While she heard the judge tell her the next steps, Misty appeared teary-eyed as she sat next to her attorney Bart McMahon before being escorted out in handcuffs. The order stated that the court will now hold a hearing to set aside the guilty plea, also known as a Rule to Show Cause hearing. During the Rule to Show Cause hearing, she will have to explain why she shouldn't be held in contempt of court. It is unclear when the hearing will take place. Daily Mail contacted McMahon for comment but did not immediately hear back. On Thursday, Misty pleaded guilty to five counts of theft and five of tax evasion. During a May hearing, both the prosecution and defense brought a conditional plea deal to the table, meaning Misty would plead guilty to the crimes. As part of the deal, she would also have to repay approximately $660,800 in restitution to New Chapel EMS, as well as more than $29,000 to the Indiana Department of Revenue. She was also set to serve up to six years - a total of 18 months in prison and four-and-a-half years of probation, under the plea deal. After accepting her plea deal, Medlock called the case 'an assault to the trusting citizens of Clark County.' Her husband Jamey, who said he and his family had no idea of the illegal activity, was sentenced to 12 years in prison. He was also ordered to pay millions in restitution after pleading guilty to a whopping 27 felonies for obstruction of justice, theft, tax evasion, money laundering , corrupt business influence and official misconduct. Their daughter Kasey pleaded guilty in January to five counts of theft and four counts of tax evasion. She was sentenced to 60 months in prison with 51 of those months set to be as part of probation. Misty was spotted sobbing in the courtroom as her child was walked out in handcuffs. Jamey became a local face around town when he appeared on Season 1 of the A&E show ' 60 Days In,' in which the Clark County prison critically examined its policies and treatment of inmates after volunteers are incarcerated undercover as prisoners for 60 days. The Clark County Jail was back in national headlines four years later, when more than 20 female prisoners alleged in federal court they were attacked, harassed and sexually assaulted after a deputy, David Lowe, sold the key to the women's wing for $1,000 to male inmates. That led to lawsuits that implicated Jamey in the attacks. He lived in Clark County for his entire life, according to Inside Edition. He served as a state trooper for 22 years before becoming a sheriff in 2015. He also ran the county's Republican party in addition to the Utica Township Volunteer Firefighters Association. His life of public service, however, began collapsing around him in 2023 when Indiana State Police investigators began seriously probing his finances. Their daughter Kasey (left) pleaded guilty in January to five counts of theft and four counts of tax evasion. It is unclear when the hearing for Misty (right) will take place Court documents also alleged Jamey, at some point, had an affair, during which he impregnated Clark County Council member Brittney Ferree, who gave birth to his child. It is alleged by prosecutors that Jamey used funds from the Volunteer Firefighters Association to pay his court-ordered child support. Jamey and Misty also allegedly charged nearly $200,000 in tuition and college expenses for two of their daughters to credit cards taken out in the fire agency's name. The couple share three daughters, though just Kasey was the only one charged and convicted.

In wake of Jamey Noel investigation, lawmakers advance bill to increases oversight over jail funds
The Clark County Judicial Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana, which houses the jail and the sheriff's where Jamey Noel formerly worked. (Photo by Casey Smith/Indiana Capital Chronicle) Bipartisan momentum continued Thursday for a bill that seeks to hold Indiana sheriffs more accountable for managing jail funds. House Bill 1208, authored by Rep. Rep. Gregory Steuerwald, R-Avon, would increase the oversight over a county jail's commissary fund, requiring the State Board of Accounts (SBOA) to create training requirements for the sheriffs responsible for their county's fund. The bill also requires sheriff's offices to report receipts and disbursements from the fund to the county fiscal body at least four times per year. Current law only requires the sheriff to provide those records semiannually. It passed out of the Senate Local Government Committee 8-0 on Thursday and now heads to the chamber floor. The legislation previously advanced unanimously from both the House Local Government Committee and the House chamber. Steuerwald's proposal comes less than a year after a massive state audit of Clark County Jail's commissary fund revealed former Sheriff Jamey Noel's 'questionable' and 'unsupported' payments totaling over $458,000. The report pointed to multiple personal vehicles, a $1,400 75-inch television and other purchases with those funds. He pleaded guilty to 27 felonies last August, including charges of theft, money laundering, corrupt business influence, official misconduct, obstruction of justice and tax evasion. He's currently serving out a 15-year prison sentence. The charges were part of a massive Indiana State Police investigation that has included more than 70 search warrants and led to five arrests. Former Indiana sheriff Jamey Noel sentenced to 15 years in prison as part of plea deal Auditors alleged he wrongly dipped or shorted more than $900,000 from the commissary fund, overall. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is now seeking to recover those funds through court-sanctioned sales of Noel's seized property. Noel was the Clark County sheriff from 2015 until the end of 2022. During his tenure, he also served as the Republican Party chair for Clark County and Indiana's 9th Congressional District, making him a sort of gatekeeper for southern Indiana political hopefuls over the last decade. 'We're trying to be very transparent, getting the sheriffs to be proactive,' said Steve Luce, executive director for the Indiana Sheriffs Association. He said Thursday that the association already had several 'very productive' meetings with SBOA to establish better commissary fund procedures in response to 'some of the activity that was getting a lot of media attention down south.' Jennifer Gauger, SBOA's chief of staff, said the state examiner 'is a big proponent of education and training, and is very happy to continue to strengthen our relationship with the sheriffs … and really help in any way.' Bill sponsor Sen. Brett Clark, R-Avon, additionally called the bill 'a collaborative effort' between the Association of Indiana Counties, the sheriffs association and SBOA. 'I think it builds on some work that was done in the past in this area to really provide some additional transparency,' he said. 'And this way, everyone in the state, all 92 counties, are on the same page … to make sure the sheriffs and their staff understand what is required of us.'
