Highland County Sheriff Donnie Barrera reports that on Thursday, Feb. 11, 2016 at approximately 10:50 a.m., the Highland County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office that they had some detectives coming into Highland County following a vehicle.

Sheriff Barrera reports that the vehicle was believed to be occupied by a Michael Hall, age 33, of Mount Orab, Ohio, the male subject who was allegedly involved with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office the day before where a sheriff’s cruiser was rammed.

Deputies from Highland County assisted in looking for the vehicle, but were unable to locate it at that time.

At approximately 12:22 p.m. on February 11, 2016, deputies from the Clinton County and Highland County Sheriffs’ Offices located the vehicle parked at a residence in Brown County on S.R. 251. Officers from the Brown County Sheriff’s Office came to the scene, along with the Ohio State Patrol.

According to Sheriff Barrera, several people were taken into custody at the residence, and advised that Michael Hall and his sister, Erica Hall, were inside the mobile home.

The subjects, Michael Hall and Erica Hall, barricaded themselves inside of the mobile home and would not respond to deputies attempting to get them to come out of the mobile home, Sheriff Barrera stated.

Officers of the Brown County Sheriff’s Office contacted the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office, who dispatched the Clermont County Special Response Team to the scene.

After several attempts to get the subjects to surrender to deputies over a PA system, Erica Hall did surrender herself to deputies. After she was taken into custody, the Clermont County Sheriff’s Office’s Special Response Team made entry into the mobile home and located Michael Hall rolled up inside of a couch.

Sheriff Barrera stated that Michael Hall was taken into custody without incident. Michael Hall has a felony warrant from Highland County and pending charges to follow through assisting agencies.
