CLARK COUNTY, Ind. — A relative of Jamey Noel - the former southern Indiana sheriff charged with numerous felonies - filed a motion to quash the subpoena that's compelling him to testify at Noel's contempt of court hearing next week.
Bradley Kramer was one of multiple people subpoenaed last month to testify at the hearing, which stems from two guns found at Noel's Jeffersonville home during a recent search. Kramer is Noel's brother-in-law.
In the motion filed Friday, Kramer's attorney Jennifer Culotta said the subpoena "does not identify the scope nor purpose" of the testimony. She knows it will be related to Noel's contempt of court charge, but says it's not specific enough beyond that.

She also claimed Kramer was offered immunity in early March by special prosecutor Ric Hertel in exchange for interviewing with investigators. According to Culotta's filing, Kramer was interviewed April 1.
She said immunity was revoked three days later.
WHAS11 reached out to Culotta Friday. She said she did not know why immunity was taken off the table. A spokesman for Indiana State Police would not confirm or deny if immunity was ever offered.
Kramer is a person of interest in the investigation, but has not been charged with any crimes. The motion states he plans to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights if called to testify.
Kramer was a Clark County Sheriff's Office employee from 2014-2023. In January, court documents sworn to by ISP Lt. Jeffrey Hearon, the lead investigator on the case, accused Noel of altering documents to secure a pension for Bradley he was not eligible to collect.
Special Judge Larry Medlock ordered the contempt hearing after two handguns were found in Noel's home during a search in March. Noel was ordered to surrender all of his firearms, with the exception of one shotgun, when he posted bail following his arrest in November.
That hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.
Jamey Noel is facing 25 felony charges, including counts of theft, tax evasion, corrupt business practices, ghost employment and official misconduct. The ISP investigation began in June 2023 following allegations that Noel directed jail staff to work on his personal property and run his personal errands while on county time.
His wife Misty Noel is facing 10 felonies; five counts of theft and five counts of tax evasion.
Kasey Noel is facing nine felonies; five counts of theft and four counts of tax evasion.
All three pleaded not guilty.
