NORTH WEBSTER — A Cromwell man was arrested for allegedly resisting police officers.
Matthew Scott Hall, 53, 9635 N. Miami Lane, Cromwell, is charged with resisting law enforcement, a level 6 felony.
On April 13, a North Webster Police officer responded to a domestic complaint. Upon arrival at the scene, the officer saw Hall sitting in a vehicle.
According to court documents, as the officer began driving toward the vehicle, Hall began driving toward the officer. When the officer activated his emergency lights to show Hall he wanted him to stop, Hall allegedly looked directly at the officer and shook his head no.
The officer began following Hall for about six minutes with his emergency lights still activated. During the pursuit, Hall continuously drove laps around the neighborhood, leaving the roadway multiple times and disregarding stop signs. A Syracuse Police officer joined the pursuit, and Hall nearly hit the Syracuse police vehicle head-on.
Hall eventually turned into a driveway after losing the rear left tire on his vehicle. He refused to comply with officers’ verbal commands, but eventually exited his vehicle.
Hall has already been arrested and released on his own recognizance.
