Kelly Vaughn aka Kelly Griffin

Suicide

A Vermilion Parish deputy pulled over a motorcycle because the driver wasn't wearing a helmet. The motorist did not produce ID, and allegedly gave false information about who he was. A second deputy arrived, and the man allegedly slowly pulled out a gun from his saddlebag. He didn't point it at the deputies or threaten them, so they pulled their own guns and told him to drop it. He ran into an overgrown area nearby. Deputies identified the man as Kelly Vaughn aka Kelly Griffin, who was wanted on a Montana warrant for possession of a weapon. Surveillance drones verified that Vaughn was armed with a handgun. During negotiations, Vaughn fired at the drones and made several statements threatening suicide, stating he was not going back to jail. Vaughn shot and killed himself at about 4:30 p.m.
