60 year old Kelly Vaughn of Newport News was arrested Friday on charges of abduction by force, intimidation or deception.

Police Ping has learned of a second arrest reported in the same (block) address as the arrest of Kelly Vaughn, some 15 hours earlier. Joseph Melzer, 78 was charged with assault. Property records show MELZER JOSEPH LEE JR, as the owner of the home located at 117 Normandy Lane which is in the Deep Creek section of the city. Mr Melzer also owns the property just down the street at 21 Mammoth Oak Rd. A home owned by VAUGHAN WILLIAM B ET UX is located also, just down the street at 174 Normandy Lane. While we have not yet found any link between Joseph and Kelly, it's very coincidental the two would happen within just hours of the other in this section of the city.
Joseph Lee Melzer has been charged with ASSAULT and was released on personal recognizance. His next scheduled court date is on 06/26/2025
Vital records show Kelly Anderson Dunn & Scott Douglas Vaughn were married 12/16/2019 at Temple Baptist Church in Newport News. We are currently looking into leads that point toward a popular eatery in the city. This is s DEVELOPING story, check back soon for updates.
