US EditionHearing Set to Determine if Misty Noel Should Be Held in Contempt of Court
CLARK COUNTY, INDIANA, JUL 8 – Misty Noel's TV remarks contradicted her guilty plea, leading to a contempt charge and cancellation of her plea deal in a case involving over $660,000 in restitution, court records show.
- Misty Noel, who is separated from ex-Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel, had her guilty plea agreement canceled and is scheduled to face a contempt hearing on August 12, 2025, in Clark County.
- Her plea deal was cancelled after Judge Larry Medlock ruled that her TV interview statements contradicted her guilty plea by denying she knowingly and intentionally committed theft.
- Noel pleaded guilty last month to five counts each of theft and tax evasion connected to Jamey's crimes involving misuse of fire agency funds totaling nearly $5 million.
- Judge Medlock characterized the case as a betrayal of the community’s trust in Clark County, while Noel took responsibility, stating that she is accountable for her actions.
- If found in contempt and her plea withdrawn, Noel will face trial, raising uncertainty about her legal outcome and restitution obligations exceeding $660,800.
