his waistband, which was later identified as 1200 wax folds of fentanyl. Vaughan was placed
under arrest and provided consent for police to search his motor vehicle. Inside the vehicle,
police located 72 pills of Hydrocodone. The vehicle was towed, and Vaughan was transported
to police headquarters for processing. While being booked, a search of Vaughan yielded 14
baggies of crack cocaine. Vaughan is scheduled to be sentenced on November 15, 2023
