Former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel pleaded guilty to 27 of 31 felony charges in court Monday as part of a plea deal in a massive corruption case that could land him in prison for more than a decade.

Noel was charged with more than two dozen felonies for allegedly misusing money from the fire and EMS departments which he oversaw.

A plea agreement submitted to the Clark County Circuit Court shows Noel agreed to plead guilty to charges of theft, money laundering, corrupt business influence, official misconduct, obstruction of justice and tax evasion.

Four charges of ghost employment were dismissed as part of the deal, according to the Indiana Capital Chronicle.

Noel faces a 15-year prison sentence but with three of those years suspended to probation if the deal is approved by the judge who wants to hear from victims affected by Noel’s actions before making a decision.
