As expected, a 27-year-old Hutchinson man bound over for trial on new felony charges was arraigned Thursday morning. Lucas Hall was supposed to be arraigned Monday on three counts of aggravated assault and criminal damage to property, however he was not transferred from prison, so he entered “not guilty” pleas in front of Judge Trish Rose.
Hall is alleged to have hit a vehicle multiple times with three people inside including his ex-girlfriend, as they tried to get away from him. The incident occurring on October 15, and started as the victims traveled southbound on Maple from 5th. It ended near 4th & Main where Hall was arrested on the charges. The victims were apparently trying to get to the law enforcement center to get away from Hall. There was damage to the vehicle the three were in as a result of him allegedly striking it.
Hall has been in prison for convictions of attempted kidnapping, aggravated battery, and two counts of aggravated intimidation of a witness or victim, for cases that go back to August and October of 2010.
Judge Rose set a pretrial hearing in the case for January 31.
