Bogalusa Teenager Arrested for Theft

On August 7, 2017, Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office patrol Lieutenant Chris Hickman responded to a complaint from residents of Yellow Branch Road that a suspicious male was going to their residences asking for a ride away from the area.
When Lt. Hickman responded to the scene, he encountered Andrew Vaughn (17), a resident of South Dogwood Avenue in Bogalusa, walking in the roadway. Vaughn was in possession of items which had been stolen from a vehicle at one of the residences. He was arrested on one count of burglary of a vehicle and one count of criminal mischief.

Sheriff Randy Seal commented. “It doesn’t matter if you are 17 or 77 or anywhere in between. If you steal from others, you are going to jail when we catch you. And, we will eventually catch you. Thanks are in order for the alert residents who called us and for Lt. Hickman who quickly took Vaughn into custody.”
