The Police Solution: Former Indiana Sheriff Jamey Noel gets 12 years for spending funds on travel and gifts

It's great that this cretin is experiencing consequences for his actions, but how fucked up is it that a cop who embezzled gets over a decade in jail, but most of the cops who MURDER get paid suspension, if even that?

I went to high school in Alabama, and this guy sounds like every other sheriff down there. He just had access to a richer county.

As firefighters, first responders and public servants, we take a higher oath. We are held to a higher standard of integrity,” said Roger Montgomery Jr., a first responder who worked for Noel from 2005 to 2011. Montgomery said firefighters and paramedics lacked proper equipment under Noel’s command, and that emergency personnel were tasked with driving Noel’s personal “limousines,” sometimes leaving just one firefighter on duty — and “putting citizens’ lives in jeopardy.”

He said, too, that non-emergency transfers were often prioritized over 911 calls because those runs netted “more money” from Medicare and Medicaid.

The disgraced former sheriff additionally admitted to tasking county employees with jobs related to his personal collection of classic cars. At least 40 vehicles were confiscated by law enforcement, including a bevy of classics, such as two 1970 Plymouth Superbirds, a 1959 Corvette, and 1966 and 1968 Chargers, according to search warrant returns.

Via raw story

it's refreshing to see a story about a cop just embezzling, instead of raping and murdering people

Did they get his handcuffs at Claire's?

So is it twelve or fifteen? I read another article earlier and it said fifteen.

Audit every one of these fucks.

You can mess with someone else's life but don't you dare mess with the money of someone more powerful than you. Good to see our legal system functioning exactly as it was designed.
