Hall was taken into custody at approximately 12:04 p.m. on the initial charge of a felony probation violation warrant that had been previously issued from Whitley County. Officers advised that they will be forwarding their investigation to Kosciusko County Prosecutor Dan Hampton for review and other potential charges involved in the incident & arrest.
