Sheriff Larry Waller and his criminal investigations division commander Todd Pippin spent 45 minutes in executive session with the Lamar County commission Tuesday night.

The commission returned after the closed session and adjourned without comment but the session was apparently about property claims filed by former Milner restauranteur and ex-convict Randolph (Rudy) Vaughn.

This is a mess that poor Larry inherited from the former "act before you think" sheriff. I am not surprised in the slightest at these allegations.

I would, however, encourage the reporter to actually research Vaughns criminal history before making misleading statements, as some of those charged alleged did not result in convictions, nor did he do time for them as was stated.

boo-hoo..i think its poetic justice for you rudy

#5 There you go #1!! on 12/09/09 at 08:01 AM

POW!!!!!!!

Yes #2, he has something "Missing" and it is a big problem. They still haven't recovered everything Rudy stole. He should have went away to the big house for a while.

This guy is trash.

Now hes playing the system.

He is nothing but a burden to society.

The first comment said Larry inherited this.

Last I recall he operated years under Larry's administration.

#7 the truth on 12/09/09 at 08:50 AM

a thief crying about something missing ? you got to be kidding me!!this clown has been involved in criminal activities sence the early 80's.how did a felon get such a sweet deal to begin with?one thing he has going for him is that good ol boy network is back in power that he operated under for so long with out any problems.
speeking of things going missing i wonder if all those cars were ever accounted for that were at the chop-shop that got raided several years back?

#8 GA/FL on 12/09/09 at 08:55 AM

Do I care if some of his things are missing? That is a big, fat NO! What about the things he stole from people? I'll bet they wish they could have their stuff returned. Here's a thought...ask the girlfriend if she knows where his things went. Maybe she sold them since her sugar daddy was in jail.

#9 cats on 12/09/09 at 10:56 AM

Wow, points for nerve.

#10 Anonymous on 12/09/09 at 11:38 AM

She doesn't need a "Sugar Daddy" because she's independently wealthly, but you didn't read that in the "National Enquirer."

#11 Anonymous on 12/09/09 at 12:44 PM

"independently wealthly" my behind!she might have some cash from ill-gotten gains,thats about it.

No one should steal.................
Read the bible......

HAHAHAHAHA #1 WHATS GOING ON NOW COME ON LOOK AT YOUR BOY NOW WHAT A RECORD GO WALTER!!!!

Who Cares! This guy has ripped hundreds of people off and the same people think he is has good as gold. It is no wonder our society is in such bad shape. We as a community need stick together and run these thieves along with all the drugs dealers out of our county and let them know they are not welcome here. It is time to step up! Enough of the nonsense!

#15 Anonymous on 12/09/09 at 04:10 PM

I don't feel sorry for a criminal, but it does concern me if officials are actually stealing or otherwise disposing of someones property without due process.
And I also would think it would have happened in the past administration, considering the personal nature most of the prosecutions like this one had.

This is what we get when we plea bargin and give a criminal a plea deal. Now the Sheriff who could never manage to arrest him for many years will work hard to get his "missing stuff" back.

"Now the Sheriff who could never manage to arrest him for many years" or just turned a blind eye to him and his band of theives

This has nothing to do with this blog, but I had to put this somewhere :
My dog has wondered away from his home on Howard Road, (he dug his way out of fence) He is a 3 year old English Bulldog, he answers to "Bulldawg" (he has a real name to, but my kids have always called him bulldog) He is a very friendly, well taken care of, and loved dog. My 4 children miss him and want him home and I am praying this will do the trick. Please if you have any information or if you have found him please respond back to me, we miss him and want him back home. Thanks

Good job Walter!

#21 Anonymous on 12/09/09 at 08:43 PM

i could care less if this man has anything.. he stole from a lot of people... i say he gets what he deserves

#22 It's Me on 12/10/09 at 03:48 AM

I haven't seen your dog yet but he may show up at my house since I live nearby and other dogs do like to play with my dogs. People would need a name and contact number for you if they just happen to see your dog. Does he have a colar and tags on? What color is he?

#23 Leslie Day on 12/10/09 at 08:29 PM

I replied to this, this morning. I guess they didn't post it cause I had my phone number but you can e-mail me at jjlrday@hotmail.com.
Thanks

#24 ChuckB on 12/11/09 at 04:33 AM

so lets just take the rest of his junk and sell it. who cares what he is missing?

#25 Leslie Day on 12/11/09 at 03:43 PM

He is home!!!!! Thanks and have a Merry Christmas!!!

This guy is an idiot, you steal all kinds of equipment, don't do any real time, then want to whine because the stolen equipment was seized? Try getting a real job, and working to earn those things you stole.

#27 Anonymous on 12/14/09 at 03:43 PM

With the economy the way it is. If you ran all of the drug dealers out of town the town would be just about empty.

Rudy had started attending Rock Springs church prior to his sentence so I am oh so very sure that he will have a better understanding of the bibical statements of "you will reap what you sow AND how you sow it." Rudy, yes, your debt is paid as far as society goes, however, you still have a debt of a far greater magnitude than one would want to even think about and that is from the Lord above. Consider it His grace, favor & mercy that you have gotten an early release. Even with repentence you will still be held accountable and unable to avoid or get an early release from His sentence. As far as his so called girlfriend, independently wealthy, yes I'm sure you could possibly say that if she has nothing to pay and banks her $ while he continues to obtain his financial wealth illegally from others. One could truly wonder if he is attending Rock Springs now since he is out of prison or was it just convenient church. If so, are they still shacking up because his girlfriend will loose her $ from previous deceased husband if she marries again. She is not innocent by any sense of the means and she & her daughter were both of full knowledge of his wrong doings. It's not rocket science to open a freezer in your home have it full of OutBack steaks and have flat screen TVs everywhere and not know something is bad wrong. Actually, you both have Gods favor and grace to have escaped this without jail time with Rudy. I hope this has been a very good lesson but, without truly turning your life over to God, Barnesville beware, "past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior."

who are you to judge anyone? if you are an indication of the type of christians that attend rock springs, i stand by my decision not to attend service. judgment is just as much a sin as theft.

#30 John three sixteen on 01/07/10 at 05:32 AM

Hey hippycritters so shall you be juged by the jugdements you judge others by. You may not have committed the offences Randolph was convicted on but your a sinner to! yes you are.and here is how i know! have you ever exceded the speed limit Dont say no lol you do it all the time but Gods word says to obey the laws as they is writin by those who gov the land and to respect those in athority. Now does that mean your gonna have a tractor traylor truck load of speeding tickets to pay when you stand befor the judge of judges wearing your spotless blameless pureist white robes that you didnt even pay for? Mabey for Randolph he will make him eat a steak prepared for him in the mist of his enemies every day untill he has consumed a whole truck load . By the way is that a splinter in your eye? Hey mabey for his punishment God will LOVE Him DEATH That would serve that ole sinner right! PS Me and Jesus SHACKED up for a while but like Randolps Girlfriend he complemented my life so much that i ask him to be my live in boyfrind and im a boy too!! What do you make of that? Though he would never leave me[cause hes the lover of my soul]still if you ask he will live in your heart to if you will just confess your just an ole sinner too" he might even make those old speeding depts you owe just go away.I wonder is speedin the worse thing you have ever done?Hmm oh well God knows.
