Later that month, while checking his bank statement, the victim noticed numerous transactions which he denied making. Among them were ten Venmo payments to Vaughn. The total amount of unauthorized transactions was $1,012.

When a deputy spoke with Vaughn about situation, she admitted she added the credit card to her Venmo account but did not initially realize it belonged to the victim. She then showed the deputy several transactions on her Venmo account she acknowledged happened after she became aware it was the victim’s card. She told the deputy the card has since been removed from her account.

Vaughn is facing felony charges of financial exploitation of an elderly person and fraudulent use of a credit or debit card and a misdemeanor charge of stealing $750 or more. She was released from the Ozark County Jail after a 24-hour hold.
