Seth Allen Hall, 29, Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Methamphetamine and Fentanyl Trafficking

Raleigh, N.C. – In a significant blow to the war on drugs, Seth Allen Hall, 29, was sentenced to 190 months in prison for his involvement in the trafficking of methamphetamine and fentanyl after fleeing from law enforcement on four separate occasions.

According to court documents and other information presented in court, Hall has been supplying kilogram quantities of methamphetamine and fentanyl for several years. In December 2022, Hall fled from law enforcement at speeds exceeding 130mph before crashing and being apprehended by the Harnett County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO). Following the crash, law enforcement seized methamphetamine and fentanyl.

On June 2023, HCSO deputies approached a parked vehicle that Hall was a passenger in. When law enforcement attempted to remove Hall from the vehicle, he climbed into the driver’s seat and fled down the highway.

On July 14, 2023, the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) observed Hall driving a vehicle and pulling a trailer, which was fishtailing on the highway. The SCSO deputy attempted to stop Hall, but Hall fled in the vehicle and then fled on foot after jackknifing the vehicle in the middle of the road. Law enforcement located a handgun on the ground near where Hall was ultimately arrested. Inside his vehicle, deputies located digital scales, syringes, drug paraphernalia, and methamphetamine.

Roughly fifteen days later, the Onslow County Sherriff’s Office (OCSO) attempted to make a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Hall. He refused to comply and drove over 130mph before striking two other vehicles, jumping the curb, crashing, and running away. He was quickly apprehended. A search of his person and vehicle revealed cash, over 500 grams of methamphetamine, 22 grams of fentanyl and xylazine, cocaine, and multiple cell phones.

Hall has prior felony convictions for possession of heroin in 2019 and 2020, as well as attempted trafficking by transportation and attempted trafficking by possession in 2019.

U.S. Attorney Michael F. Easley, Jr. made the announcement after sentencing by U.S. District Judge Terrence W. Boyle. HSI, the SCSO, HCSO, OCSO, and the ATF investigated the case and Assistant U.S. Attorney Casey Peaden prosecuted the case.

This case is a testament to the tireless efforts of law enforcement agencies working together to take down major players in the narcotics trade.
