Jamey Noel appears to be in hot water. The former Clark County Sheriff and current County GOP Chairman is facing numerous criminal charges involving both his time as sheriff and overseeing a non-profit. According to IndyPolitics.org the charges include corrupt business practices, ghost employment, official misconduct, theft and tax evasion. Based on recent court documents, it appears Noel's wife could also be charged.

Over the years, Noel had cultivated a very close personal and political relationship with Governor Eric Holcomb. Which given Noel appearing to have spent years living far above his means, has left many asking what did the governor know about Noel's actions, and when? Rob Kendall, Jim Merritt, and Abdul-Hakim Shabazz explore these very questions on this week's Statehouse Happenings.
