EPD Sgt. Arrested in Warrick County

A well-known Evansville police officer has been arrested following a report of domestic violence.

Warrick County sheriff’s deputies arrested EPD Sgt. Karen Vaughn-Kajmowicz after authorities were called to her Chandler, Indiana home Tuesday night.

The 43-year-old Kajmowicz faces preliminary charges of strangulation and battery. She was released from jail after posting a $750 cash bond.

A mug shot from Warrick County shows her with a black eye.

Kajmowicz is a former public information officer with the Evansville Police Department and currently serves on the Evansville-Vanderburgh County Joint Drug Task Force.

She and her wife, Tammy Vaughn-Kajmowicz, were among plaintiffs in the federal court case that led to Indiana’s same-sex marriage ban being overturned.
