In February 2024, Deputy Zachary Hall was involved in the arrest of Christopher Connelly, who alleged excessive force was used during the incident. Body camera footage showed Connelly holding his hands up before attempting to flee, after which deputies, including Hall, tackled and struck him. Connelly filed a federal civil rights lawsuit claiming he suffered a traumatic brain injury and other injuries affecting his ability to work. Additionally, in 2020, Hall was suspended for three weeks without pay for misconduct involving alcohol with two women under the age of 21, during which he and one of the women were thrown from an unmarked PBSO pickup truck driven by another officer.
