26-year-old Austin Patrick Hall was arraigned in Shelby CountyJudge Marvin Wiggins would not allow video, pictures, or audio to be recorded during Friday morning’s hearing, but we were allowed to be inside the courtroom.At least 26 people gathered inside the Bibb County courtroom to see it all of them work for different agencies within Bibb County.He is the sheriff’s deputy who survived Wednesday’s shooting and is recovering at home.Austin Patrick Hall said nothing during the hearing.
Bibb County District Attorney, Michael Jackson, explained why Hall is being held in Shelby County instead of Bibb County. “Well, for multiple reasons. He had been brought over there I believe on a warrant, and also just for safety reasons and security reasons. For his safety and the public’s safety. You know, you don’t want him staying in this jail…and let’s say he gets sick or something and then his family claims somebody did something to him in a Bibb jail, so that avoids that,” Jackson explained.The judge will set a date once he receives the motions.
