MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- According to court documents, Dedric Vaughns was sentenced to one year in prison on Wednesday, Feb. 14, for dragging a Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office deputy.
The incident happened on June 2,2023, as a deputy was alerted of the presence of a stolen vehicle at a parking lot near Bradford Beach.
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.
