Jamey Noel, the former Clark County sheriff, along with his wife Misty, is facing multiple felony charges amidst an ongoing investigation into the misappropriation of $7 million worth of military surplus equipment and personal gain from the sales of classic cars. The investigation, initiated in June last year, has recently unveiled further evidence linking the Noels to the illegal sale and storage of government property.

Investigators from the Indiana State Police (ISP), along with the Defense Criminal Investigative Services, discovered that between January 2015 and December 2022, Noel had received a substantial amount of surplus military property, which was then partly sold for personal profit. Recent search warrants executed on properties in Deputy, Indiana, revealed 26 government, civilian, and military shipping containers, some of which contained surplus property presumed to be sold or stored unlawfully.
