RICHMOND CITY INSPECTOR ISSUES WARNING ABOUT ELECTRICIAN

(Richmond, IN)--A pre-trial hearing has been set for later this month for Ryan Vaughn in a drug possession case.  But, that is likely not all of Vaughn’s legal trouble.  At least four local residents have claimed that Vaughn, who identifies himself as an electrician and the owner of Vaughn Electric, has taken money up front for supplies and labor but never performed any work.  "I gave him all the proof.  He still has not paid.  I have given him chance after chance, so now it's time to take action with a police report and with filing in court for small claims," said a family member of one of Vaughn’s alleged victims.  Terry Ford, who is an inspector with the City of Richmond, recently wrote that Vaughn is not a legally licensed or bonded electrician.  Ford is encouraging victims to contact Richmond police.  Vaughn recently posted about the $5000 rims that he just put on his new $60,000 truck.  Vaughn has had six criminal cases in Wayne Count in the last six years.  Four of those six involve drugs.
