Judge Slams Gavel Ordering 60 Days in Jail for Former Sheriff

A judge had some harsh words for a former sheriff, who is accused of breaking the law. Former Clark County, Indiana Sheriff, Jamey Noel, is awaiting trial on 25 felony charges.He has pled not guilty. As part of the case, Noel was ordered to surrender all his weapons, except for one shotgun, but during a search of his home, the judge says other firearms were found. The judge says Noel was in contempt of court and ordered him ot serve 60 days in jail before the trial even begins. Inside Edition Digital has more.

Even then, judges don't keep it after 60 days so they don't even truly get charged.

I think it should go the other way around too. Let me elaborate. I saw a video of a judge being pulled over.

Took food from food banks, food pantries and donations to feed the prisoners. So in addition to taking state funds to pay for personal things, he also took food out of the mouths of the needy, the reason for the food banks in the first place.
