Power tools, big machinery among Jamey Noel's items up for auction Thursday

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- More items associated with Jamey Noel's theft and fraud case hit the auction block Thursday.

Online bidding started at 9 p.m. in Clayton, Indiana, west of Indianapolis. Items up for sale include power tools, a locomotive, shipping containers and more.

Earlier this month, watches, tailored suits and guns seized from Noel, the former Clark County sheriff, were sold to the highest bidder. Freije & Freije Auctions retrieved the items from the Indiana State Police post in Sellersburg in late December. Dozens of items were listed on the company's website as part of its annual New Year's Day auction.

The auction house on the far west side of Indianapolis sold most of Noel's guns and a lot of his clothes. One suit jacket had the sheriff emblem as part of its lining and Noel's name was in most of the custom suits, which he paid several thousand dollars for. Many of the suits sold for about $200.

More than a dozen of Noel's suits, some of which he wore in court, along with several pairs of pants all sold for a fraction of their original price, including shoes.

One person said one shoe without a match sold for $110.

Another auction is set for April 3, and Noel's classic cars hit the auction in May.

Money from sales will go toward the $3 million Noel is ordered to pay back in restitution. Restitution will be split between the following agencies:

$2,870,924 to Utica Township Volunteers Firefighters Association (dba New Chapel EMS)
$173,155.07 to the Indiana Department of Revenue
$61,190.77 to the Clark County Sheriff's Department
$35,245.60 to Indiana State Police
