Suspect in two violent crimes in Metro Detroit given $5.5 million bond for Troy assault

The suspect behind an intense day-long manhunt in Metro Detroit this week was given a $5.5 million bond following his alleged assault in Troy and a separate deadly assault in Detroit.

Andrew Hall was charged in Oakland County on more than a dozen violent felony counts, including strangulation, unlawful imprisonment, and aggravated assault. The presiding judge said Hall had confessed to crimes in both the attack at a Target parking lot in Troy and behind a building in Detroit.

Hall has a lengthy history of failing to appear for warrants and escape attempts from prison, in addition to multiple convictions for domestic violence and unlawful entry.

The 31-year-old is homeless and is a father to an 11-year-old daughter. While he grew up in Metro Detroit, he has few connections within the region.

Hall was arrested in Dearborn Heights after days of investigation that tied him to an attack in Oakland County when he allegedly tried kidnapping a woman inside a Target parking lot last Friday before brandishing a gun.
