A Marshall County resident was arrested on felony charges after he fled from police on a 4-wheeler and attempted to run over deputies several times.
On Sunday, June 16th, 2019, at approximately 10:30 p.m., a deputy with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office observed a 4-wheeler traveling on a roadway in the Briensburg Community with the headlights turned off. The deputy followed the 4-wheeler for a short distance on the road and then attempted to conduct a traffic stop. The operator fled on the 4-wheeler for a few miles before going on a trail in the woods. The deputy parked his cruiser on the trail and walked back into the woods to attempt to locate the suspect. The deputy heard the 4-wheeler start, and the operator tried to run over the deputy with the 4-wheeler. Other deputies arrived on the scene. The operator attempted to strike the deputies with 4-wheeler several times. Deputies deployed their tasers multiple times, but the taser did not stop the operator. The operator hit the front of the police cruiser with the 4-wheeler, and the operator tried to run over a deputy again, causing the deputy to fire a shot at the operator. The operator fled on the 4-wheeler. Marshall County Deputies, Kentucky State Police and Marshall County Rescue attempted to locate the operator for several hours but were unable to locate the operator.
On Monday, June 17th 2019, Marshall County detectives were able to identify the operator of the 4-wheeler to be James David Hall of Benton. Detectives executed a search warrant at the residence of James David Hall and arrested Hall for two counts of Wanton Endangerment 1st degree-police officer, fleeing and evading police 1st degree and criminal mischief 1st degree. Hall was lodged in the Marshall County Jail.
