Deputies say they were performing a traffic stop, and a man later identified by authorities as Dedric Vaughns began to drive away and dragged a deputy several feet before leaving the area. Authorities also say Vaughns was on probation at the time of the incident.

The deputy returned to work a few days later after a few scrapes and bruises.
