 Vaughn was one of 11 people indicted for blocking the entrance to the Carafem Health Care Clinic in the Nashville suburb of Mount Juliet. Seven of the 11 defendants faced conspiracy charges under the FACE Act, while the remaining defendants were charged with misdemeanors that carried a punishment of up to one year in prison and a $10,000 fine. After being indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI arrested Vaughn in front of his family during an early morning raid at his home.
