He will sentenced on May 20.

On October 5, 2019, Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy Aaron Myers was dispatched to a Tom Thumb on West Highway 98 for a possible burglary in process. The incident began when Myers arrived and approached a car and observed the defendant in the passenger seat inhaling from a glass smoking pipe.

Myers informed Hall that he was being arrested for a narcotics violation and that he needed to exit the car.

Hall refused and began punching and kicking the deputy. Hall continued to fight deputies and pulled out a box cutter that cut Myers. The deputies were able to finally subdue Hall with the use of a taser.

The glass pipe contained methamphetamine.

    Another note to self:

    Don’t smoke meth and try to stick up a Tom Thumb.
