Deputy Nobles was terminated from the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office in March 2022 after allegations surfaced that he engaged in sexual intercourse while on duty with a woman he was investigating for a crime. The woman disclosed their relationship to one of Nobles’ supervisors, leading to his termination. However, the termination and related information were not disclosed as Brady material during the woman’s prosecution, raising concerns about the Sheriff’s Office’s compliance with disclosure obligations. A July 2022 letter from POST indicated that Nobles’ certification was at risk of suspension or revocation due to the allegations.
