-The man that had been on the run since June of 2014 was sentenced for the incident in Chippewa County Court.On June 10th of 2014, 40-year-old Eric Hall was released from prison. Not long after, he was seen on security footage pumping gasoline into a stolen vehicle in Chippewa County. Authorities ended up in a high speed chase with him later that evening which spread into Eau Claire County before he escaped. Back in July of 2014, a tip led authorities to Wood County where Hall has family and friends. When they went to a home in Vesper, Hall managed to escape again. Authorities believed that Hall had made it to Jackson County and stole another vehicle. Hall stole several vehicles and burglarized homes since he was released.
On April 21st of 2015, Hall was arrested at the Ho-Chunk Casino in the Town of Delton by the Sauk County Sheriff's Department. Several charges have been filed against Hall in multiple counties. He also has several different cash bonds set in different counties as well. On Monday, Hall entered a no contest plea to several charges. He was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison and one year and eight months extended supervision. If he violates his probation, he'll have to serve an additional 3 years in prison.
