Former employee arrested for fraud
26 year old Eric Ryan Vaughn is in custody pending $5,000.00 bond for charges stemming from a reported attempt to defraud a former employer by making unauthorized charges to the company’s account as well as two previous outstanding warrants.
According to the information reported to Deputy Michael Stevens, Vaughn was making purchases of copper tubing from a local distributor in St. Augustine and charging the purchases to his former employer’s account — after he was no longer employed and without the company’s permission.
