The Noel family is trying to sell several properties while criminal and civil cases continue

Misty Noel, who is married to former Clark County Sheriff Jamey NoelShe has asked to be allowed to sell several properties “as quickly as possible.” According to a filing from Misty Noel’s attorney, Bart McMahon, she can no longer afford the mortgage on the properties on her salary alone.

These include a historic home on Turnberry Drive in Jeffersonville, a vacation home in Naples, Florida and a pole barn where Jamey Noel stored his extensive collection of partially stolen vehicles.

Proceeds from the sales would be deposited with the court and paid to the state to meet the family’s legal obligations.

Misty and Jamey Noel’s daughter, Kasey, also wants to sell her home on Old Salem Road.

Misty Noel and two other daughters are asking the court not to order the sale of the family’s main home at Old Tay Bridge and to allow them to hold on to it with a lien until other properties are sold.

Noel pleaded guilty in August up to 27 crimes, including theft, tax evasion and money laundering. He was sentenced last week up to 15 years, including 12 in prison, as part of a consent agreement. The Indiana Department of Correction website lists the earliest possible release date as June 5, 2033.

His allegations include that he stole from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and the Utica Township Volunteer Firefighters Association, also known as New Chapel EMS, which he led.

His wife Misty and daughter Kasey are also charged with theft and tax evasion amid allegations they used New Chapel credit cards for personal items and services.

The Indiana Attorney General’s Office filed two civil lawsuits earlier this year is trying to get millions back from Noel, his family and his employees.

That includes money that Jamey and Misty’s other two daughters benefited from through college tuition and expenses, investigators say. You are not accused of any crimes.

In the motion to sell the properties, filed in one of the attorney general’s cases, Misty Noel’s attorney says: “The lawsuit is about recovering public funds. However, the defendant was willing and able to sell the property for this purpose, but the plaintiff has so far refused to consent while the defendant is no longer able to pay the mortgages.”

Under agreements reached earlier this year, the family was prevented from selling the properties. Misty Noel’s motion also requests “a release from the agreed injunction releasing her from the Naples and Turnberry mortgage obligations until they are sold.”

The filing also states that it is “very likely that Misty Noel will be incarcerated until the end of the year or soon in 2025” and that “the sale of the properties and their contents makes sense, but the state has refused approval, although she has received an evaluation and qualification of an agent for the property in Naples.”

At a hearing earlier this month it was revealed that Misty and Kasey Noel’s cases could lead to a settlement.

Misty Noel’s trial was scheduled to begin Oct. 28, but she and her daughter will now appear at status hearings that day. In Misty Noel’s motion for a continuance, her attorney wrote that negotiations were ongoing and the parties needed more time to work toward a resolution.

Jamey Noel’s attorneys also filed a motion the day after the court hearing to immediately auction off his real estate and personal possessions – including clothing, cigars and collector vehicles.

“Jamey and the defendants want to pay back the victims. They want his assets converted into money that can be distributed to the victims,” his motion states. “The longer the litigation hampers the liquidation, the less likely it is that the victims will receive any money.”

His plea agreement also calls for restitution of nearly $2.9 million to New Chapel and more than $60,000 to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

Noel and his wife, who filed for divorce during the investigation, are scheduled to appear at a contempt hearing on Nov. 13 after records show they fell behind on mortgage payments, a violation of covenants in the attorney general’s case represents.

In Noel’s criminal case, Judge Larry Medlock approved a motion from the prosecutor asking the court to return 10 vehicles Cessna aircraft from 1958 to the Utica Township Volunteer Firefighters Association, also known as New Chapel EMS.

The list includes a 2024 panel truck, a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro and four Dodge Challengers.
