Man sentenced for being a felon in possession of a firearm in Mount Rainier National Park

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on July 26, 2017. It is reproduced in full below.

At a recent court hearing, David Edward Hall was sentenced to serve 6 months detention followed by 2 years supervised probation. Hall was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm, a charge that stemmed from an incident that occurred in Mount Rainier National Park.

A US Park Ranger contacted Hall in August 2016 for a traffic violation in the park. The ranger determined that Hall was a fugitive from justice and was in possession of narcotics, narcotics paraphernalia, and a gun. Court documents show that Hall has prior felony criminal history.

A Special Agent with the NPS Investigative Services Branch investigated the incident and prepared the case for prosecution by the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of Washington.
