Robert Vaught, a graduate of detour schools himself, was selected to be the superintendent on July 1, 2018.
Just over three years later he’s facing charges in Chippewa County for operating while intoxicated and failure to report an accident, accused of crashing into several cars and a sign in the parking lot of the Detour Marina over the weekend.
He was arrested and bonded out of the Chippewa County Jail.
Vaught won’t comment on the case, but president of the detour school board, James Bias released a statement on Tuesday. “In the event there is a conviction for any unlawful conduct, the board will take that under consideration, as well as any information related to what steps he has taken to correct course, and how he intends to use his negative personal experience as a positive lesson for our school district.”
