Medlock also ordered Noel, 53, to pay $270,000 in fines and more than $3 million in restitution to the agencies affected by his actions, telling the former sheriff he had “tarnished the badge and failed everyone in law enforcement.”

Prosecutors accused Noel and his family of spending millions of dollars for personal purchases that included travel, gifts, clothing and vehicles, the News and Tribune reported. Medlock said in June that Noel had used the firefighter association’s funds as a “personal piggy bank.”

The Indiana State Police conducted dozens of searches that uncovered questionable payments for classic cars, college tuition and an aircraft.

      or framing people for murders, while the actual murderers go free. ffs… law enforcement isn’t just about putting some rando in jail for life or the death penalty, it’s about getting THE ACTUAL MURDERER off the streets.

      I cannot fathom how this one principal is so often disregarded in law enforcement.
