𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞, 𝐅𝐋 –A man with a disturbing criminal past is back behind bars after 55-year-old Timmothy Hall was arrested by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office (JSO) over the weekend in connection with an attempted child abduction and indecent exposure case out of Daytona Beach.
Hall was identified by the Daytona Beach Police Department as the suspect in a July 11 incident at a local store, where he allegedly exposed himself to a child and attempted to grab the victim by the arm. Thankfully, the child managed to break free, and no physical injuries were reported. Hall fled the scene before authorities arrived.
Following the incident, Daytona Beach detectives developed leads indicating Hall may have fled to Jacksonville. Assistance was requested from JSO and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, which includes Jacksonville officers.
On Saturday evening, JSO officers located Hall in the Arlington neighborhood, sitting in a vehicle. With coordinated support from the JSO Aviation Unit and K-9 officers, police conducted a felony takedown, taking Timmothy Hall into custody without incident.
Hall’s criminal history raises serious concern. In 2010, he was arrested in Hillsborough County for lewd or lascivious exhibition involving a minor under the age of 16. At the time, Hall worked as a medical assistant at the Duval County Jail, a position he resigned from following his arrest. He was subsequently classified as a registered sex offender.
Now facing fresh charges tied to this most recent offense—including attempted kidnapping and indecent exposure—Hall remains in custody and is expected to be transferred to Daytona Beach authorities for prosecution.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office commended the collaborative effort that led to Hall’s arrest:
“Thanks to the hard work of our officers and the support from the Daytona Beach Police Department and U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, we were able to remove a dangerous individual from the streets. Timmothy Hall will now face the justice system once again.”
Authorities are encouraging anyone who may have further information about Timmothy Hall or other potential victims to contact their local police or Crime Stoppers. This case serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of community vigilance and swift action in protecting children from predators.
