Sullivan County lawyer convicted of theft disbarred by state Supreme Court

A Sullivan County, Tennessee lawyer who stole money from his law partners that added up to a six-figure theft has been permanently disbarred by the state Supreme Court.

The ruling comes after Kyle Douglas Vaughan pleaded guilty to and was convicted of one count of theft of property in Washington County.

That order of enforcement also directs Vaughan to pay more than $223,000 in restitution to Kara Page and James Cook II, according to the court documents.
