FAIRMONT — While en-route to the North Central Regional Jail Monday evening, a 33-year-old Grafton man arrested in Fairmont for four felonies managed to free himself from a moving city police cruiser and land on the side of U.S. Route 50 in Harrison County.
John Joseph Hall suffered what Harrison County Sheriff Albert Morano described as “moderate injuries” when he jumped out of an SUV driven by a Fairmont detective near Bristol.
Morano said that Hall, while handcuffed, somehow unhooked his seatbelt, got the locked door open, and jumped out of the car as the officer was slowing down. Morano said the officer started to slow down the car because he noticed what Hall was doing, and that the car was not moving fast when Hall hit the ground.
