Deputies Respond To Woman’s Screams For Help-Boyfriend Charged With Felonious Restraint

On Tuesday March 29, 2022 at 9:30 a.m., Patrol Deputies were sitting stationary in the parking lot of Five Points Grocery at Carolina Rd. and N. NC 62 north of Burlington. While observing traffic, a white in color Nissan Altima passed the Deputies’ location traveling southbound on N. NC 62 Highway towards the City limits of Burlington, NC. As the Nissan Altima passed by, a female subject was observed leaning out of the passenger side window screaming “Let me out! Let me out.”

Deputies caught up with the Nissan and initiated a traffic stop in the 2200blk on N. NC 62.  Deputies were able to assist and provide aid to the female while an additional Deputy instructed the driver to exit the vehicle.

During the investigation it was learned that the driver, Preston Alan Hall, and his girlfriend were involved in a verbal argument. Deputies learned from the female that the argument began while they were travelling on Altamahaw-Union Ridge Rd. The female told Deputies that she asked numerous times for Mr. Hall to stop the vehicle and let her out but he would not.

As the investigation continued, Deputies took Mr. Hall into custody and transported him to the Alamance County Detention Center.
