The 26-year-old man with a lengthy rap sheet charged in the killing of a Bibb County deputy sheriff should not have been out of lockup when the deadly shooting took place, according to some state authorities.

Austin Patrick Hall, charged with capital murder in the slaying Bibb County Deputy Brad Johnson and attempted murder in the wounding of Deputy Chris Poole, had been in trouble with the law beginning in his teens.Hall’s criminal history has been scrutinized and used in a call for stricter laws and reform to lessen the chance of something like Hall’s slaying happening again.

Cam Ward, director of the Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, said he agrees with Marshall’s concerns, saying “good time” needs to be more equitable. Hall pleaded guilty to second-degree theft and, in 2018, was sentenced to nine years and nine months in state prison, likely because of his criminal history, Marshall said.

The pursuit ended when Georgia State Patrol “pitted” the suspect at mile marker 5. Hall’s vehicle overturned but he was not injured. Hall was indicted in Calhoun County in May on 10 charges of second-degree receiving stolen property, reckless endangerment, second-degree assault, certain persons prohibited from carrying a firearm, drug possession, resisting arrest, attempting to elude and third-degree burglary.Hall ended his sentence on April 8, 2022, and was fully released from the Department of Corrections’ custody and supervision.

“It should be a more equitable system. You count good time, but every time there’s an escape or a violent act or you’ve made an infraction, it should be counted against that good time, so you have a true measure of whether someone is doing it right or not,’’ he said.
