Hall pursuit and arrest
A North Carolina man faces charges following a Thursday night pursuit by Newport detective Derrick Webb. The detective said he tried to stop a 2003 Saturn operated by Bryan Keith Hall, 39, Fayetteville, on the Cosby Highway. But Hall fled onto I-40 eastbound at speeds of 115 miles per hour, exited at the 440 exit, and traveled onto the Hartford Road. As he traveled, Hall lost control and his auto went into a private lawn. At that point, he exited his auto and ran into a wooded area. When Hall refused commands to surrender, Cocke County Deputy Blake Cupp brought his K9 Narco to the scene, and the suspect was bitten on the upper right thigh. After being treated at the Newport Medical Center, Hall was jailed on charges of felony fleeing to evade arrest, driving on a suspended license, and a seatbelt violation. In addition, Hall was wanted by North Carolina authorities for a parol;e violation following his conviction for possession of dangerous drugs. He is charged locally as a fugitive from justice and is awaiting extradition to North Carolina.
