TBI Arrest Springfield Man For Theft Of More Than $250,000

  • Wednesday, March 14, 2018

Special agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation have obtained an indictment for a Springfield man in connection to the theft of more than a quarter of a million dollars from his former employer. He was arrested Wednesday.

At the request of 23rd District Attorney General Ray Crouch, TBI agents began investigating David Kent Vaughn on Nov. 14. During the course of the investigation, agents developed information that, from approximately February 2016 through October 2017, while working as an employee of R.E. West Transportation Company in Ashland City, Vaughn stole funds by using company credit cards for unapproved purchases and writing electronic checks for cash under false pretenses. 

The Cheatham County Grand Jury returned an indictment on March 6, charging Vaughn with one count of theft over $250,000. Agents arrested him Wednesday and booked him into the Cheatham County Jail on $76,000 bond.
