Jamey Noel has lived in Clark County Indiana 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 last year, when Indiana State Police investigators began seriously probing his finances.
The sheriff is accused of spending lavishly including buying more than 100 luxury cars using public funds and selling them at a personal profit.
He further stands accused of using his former deputies as personal errand men and handymen on his private properties during work hours.
Court documents also allege Jamey Noel, 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 Noel 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.
In March, authorities seized 26 shipping containers filled with $7million of missing military surplus equipment, which state police believe belonged to the sheriff's department and were hidden be Noel during his time in the role.
Former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel has been charged with 25 felony offenses relating to massive accusations of fraud.
