Crit Edmond Hall Sr..
Sergeant Crit Hall suffered a fatal heart attack while pursuing a burglary suspect on foot. At 3:00 a.m., he responded to a burglary call at Don's Drive-In on US Highway 60. As Sergeant Hall was about to enter the building, one of the suspects exited and immediately fled. As he chased the man, he collapsed. Officer Hall was a World War I veteran of the United States Army who served with the Saint Albans Police Department for eight years. He also served with the West Virginia Highway Patrol for 16 years, the Richland County Sheriff's Department for 14 years, and as police chief at the Alderson Police Department and the Rainelle Police Department. He was survived by his wife and four children. One of his sons was a deputy in West Virginia and later served with the Ohio Highway Patrol.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Sergeant Hall gave the Saint Albans Police Department 38 years.
Thank you for your service to the Saint Albans community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
