LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel is serving his prison sentence in eastern Indiana.

Noel was sentenced to 12 years in prison after he previously pleaded guilty to 27 felonies. 

Indiana Department of Correction lists Noel as an inmate at New Castle Correctional Annex. It's a little more than 50 miles east of Indianapolis. He has a projected release date of June 2033.

Special Judge Larry Medlock reticently accepted a plea agreement calling for the incarceration and millions in restitution, telling Noel his "greed" caused tremendous pain for his employees, family members and the people in his community. The sentence was actually 15 years in prison but three of those years were suspended to probation. 

Noel, 53, pleaded guilty to theft, obstruction of justice, tax evasion, money laundering, corrupt business influence and official misconduct Aug. 26. He agreed to the plea deal nearly a year after he was arrested and Indiana State Police investigators raided his home in southern Indiana.

New Castle Correctional Annex was established in 2002 as the first Indiana Department of Correction owned and privately managed correctional facility in the state. The facility has a maximum capacity of 3,200 adult men with security levels 1-4, special needs and maximum security.
