A Boston man, Tyreek Hall, 23, has been arrested and charged with escape after allegedly leaving a residential re-entry center where he was serving the remainder of his federal sentence. Hall had previously been sentenced in May 2024 to 46 months in prison for being a felon in possession of ammunition while on parole.
In July 2025, Hall was transferred from a correctional institution to a residential re-entry center in Boston as part of his transition back into the community. He worked as a part-time vehicle cleaner during this period. According to court documents, on September 7, 2025, around 11 p.m., Hall returned from work and underwent a breathalyzer test as part of standard security procedures at the facility. He allegedly tested positive, refused further breathalyzer testing and urinalysis, and then went to his living quarters. Later that night, at approximately 11:56 p.m., Hall reportedly left through the front door and did not return.
Hall remained an active escapee from federal custody until his apprehension. The criminal complaint charges him with escape, which carries a potential sentence of up to five years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000. Sentencing decisions are made by federal judges based on established guidelines and statutory considerations.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley stated: "The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law." Acting U.S. Marshal for the District of Massachusetts Dennis Matulewicz also participated in announcing the charges. The Massachusetts State Police and Boston Police Department assisted with the case investigation.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Dawley from the Organized Crime and Gang Unit is prosecuting the case.
