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.
