Summary:
On Wednesday, February 15, 2017 at approximately 11:05 pm, Johnny Dewayne Hall was transported to St.
Joseph’s Hospital and later died of what is initially thought to be an accidental overdose. Mr. Hall had been
arrested by the Bryan Police Department at 9:05 pm and was transported to the Detention Center. He was
accepted at the Detention Center at 10:19 pm on charges of Fleeing from a Police Officer and Tampering with
Physical Evidence.
Initial reports indicate that Mr. Hall was seated in an open intake area waiting to complete the intake process
when he first appeared to be disoriented. Officers called for medical assistance. Medical personnel
responded, monitored his condition and checked his vital signs. Following the evaluation medical personnel
made the decision to request EMS to transport Mr. Hall to the hospital. Bryan EMS arrived and conducted an
evaluation. Mr. Hall was transported by ambulance to St. Joseph’s Hospital. He was pronounced dead at
11:57 pm. An autopsy has been ordered to determine the cause of death.
Amendment

accident.
