Jamey Noel, along with wife, children, restrained from making property transfers amid lawsuit

Former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Noel, his wife and three daughters have agreed to restrain themselves from selling their personal property while a lawsuit against them is pending litigation, according to injunctions filed Thursday.

According to court documents, the Noels are only allowed to make transfers regarding their property when they receive permission from the Indiana Attorney General's office to do so.

The documents, which relate to a lawsuit filed by Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita against five members of the Noel family, were sealed by a court order until Tuesday. Rokita's office filed suit because it seeks a court order that will allow some local agencies to recover public funds that were allegedly used for purchases of personal items, The Courier Journal previously reported.

Jamey, Misty and Kasey Noel face multiple felony charges, including theft and tax evasion, and are awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to the charges. Gracy and Josey Noel do not face criminal charges.

What do the injunctions mean for the defendants?

The members of the Noel family serving as defendants in the lawsuit are restrained from buying, selling or trading property, unless they receive permission from the attorney general to do so, which requires a 30-day notice and a waiting period of at least 15 days for a response, according to court documents.

The injunctions also caps how much the defendants can spend per month, mostly limiting them to paying "reasonably necessary bills and daily living expenses."

Here are the court-ordered spending limits for each defendant:

• Jamey: $3,500.
• Misty: $2,500. She is also allowed to access roughly $5,300 to pay bills related to homes in Jeffersonville and Naples, Florida, respectively.
• Kasey: $2,500, which includes $1,200 to pay bills at a home in Jeffersonville.)
• The injunction states Gracy "shall be able to pay reasonably necessary bills and daily living expenses as they arise," as long as the expenses do not exceed her monthly income.
• The injunction states Josey "shall be able to pay reasonably necessary bills and daily living expenses as they arise," as long as the expenses do not exceed the amount of funds in her bank accounts "as well as an additional $500 per month."

Each defendant must also provide the court a list of property they own worth over $5,000, court documents state. The stipulations listed in the injunction are valid until the lawsuit is settled.
