According to a press release issued by Sheriff John Merchant, Vaught is the first to receive the $1,000 scholarship, “which is dedicated to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.”
Vaught was recognized during a May 9 ceremony held at the Horton High School Gymnasium, where she was presented with the honor by Merchant and Public Resource Deputy J.D. Clary.
Along with the scholarship, Vaught was given a certificate and a Sheriff's challenge coin.
The coin was designed in honor of Deputy Todd Michael Widman, who
lost his life serving the citizens of Brown County on March 1, 2000.
