A former Town of Mooresville, North Carolina, IT employee has filed a federal lawsuit alleging retaliation after reporting surveillance footage that allegedly shows Mayor Chris Carney inside Town Hall late at night without pants in October 2024.
Jeffrey Noble, who worked in the town’s information technology department, filed the complaint Jan. 12, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, naming Carney and two other town officials as defendants. The lawsuit claims Noble was fired after reporting what he believed were serious ethical and security violations involving the mayor.
