The Carter County Commission voted unanimously to appoint Jeff Noble as a special prosecutor to review and potentially prosecute a criminal matter that the introducing speaker said is in investigatory stages and subject to confidential criminal justice information. The resolution authorizes compensation of up to $1,000 total at $75 per hour plus reasonable expenses to be paid from the county attorney’s litigation fund.
The resolution was introduced by a staff member who asked the commission to sign Resolution 8182025-01 to designate Jeff Noble as a special county attorney for Carter County. Committee member Speaker 3 moved to adopt the resolution; another committee member seconded the motion. The chair asked for public comment, received none, and the commission voted "aye," carrying the motion. The chair indicated the resolution would be signed immediately.
The introducing speaker said the identity of the person under investigation would not be released because the matter remains under confidential criminal justice information. The commission recorded no public comment before the vote.
With the resolution approved, county staff will execute the signing and process compensation through the county attorney’s litigation fund. No further procedural dates were announced during the meeting.
