LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Indiana State Police were back on Jamey Noel's property Friday, seizing classic cars as part of their investigation into the former Clark County Sheriff.
According to court documents, Noel is accused of stealing thousands of taxpayer dollars to pay for his car collection.
Friday's raid happened while Noel is still sitting in jail after being found in contempt of court earlier this month and sentenced to 60 days in the Scott County Jail.
ISP obtained a search warrant Friday morning and went to Noel's Jeffersonville pole barn on Old Salem Road where they seized six classic vehicles, ranging from the 1930s to the 1970s.
Court documents detail how Noel stole money from the Utica Township Firefighter's Association to buy them.
In one instance, Noel allegedly stole money from the fire department, and transferred money into his deceased brother's estate, only to write a check from that account on the same day to buy a 1969 Road Runner.
State police also accuse Noel of lying on car titles, altering the purchase amounts and buying and selling dates.
Someone applied for duplicate titles for the cars just two weeks ago, catching the attention of investigators.
Noel is facing 25 charges for theft, tax evasion, public corruption, ghost employment and more. His wife, Misty Noel, and daughter, Kasey Noel, as well as several of his business associates are also facing charges.
Investigators have also said even more charges are likely. To date, investigators have made public more than 50 search warrants and their findings since their probe began last summer, each outlining evidence seized or otherwise learned in the case.
