Gore Landing camping trip turns into assault, other charges
By AMIE CATO-REMER Editor,

A Jenks woman who was camping at Gore Landing is facing charges of battery/assault and battery on a police officer, falsely impersonating another to create liability and resisting an officer after getting into an altercation with another at a campsite.

Tina M. Hall, 56, was formally charged on June 1 in Sequoyah County District Court and received a $10,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear for a 9 a.m. August 23 felony disposition docket.

Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s deputy Mark Choate reported just before midnight on May 31 he was dispatched to Gore Landing campground in reference to a disturbance, along with Gore Police officer Townsil Lane.

Lane spoke with Hall at the campsite, who had reportedly been screaming at a man, while Choate spoke with the man. The man alleged he and Hall had been at the camp host’s campsite drinking beer when he went back to the camper to get something. He said Hall then came to the camper and said he’d left a light on, causing the camper to fill up with bugs.

The man said Hall became upset and pushed and hit him, according to the probable cause affidavit in the case. The deputy reported seeing a laceration on the man’s forehead above his right eye, but the man said he did not wish to pursue charges.

He also said Hall had taken his wallet and threatened to toss it into the fire. The wallet was found on a picnic table but the man said his credit cards were missing, according to the affidavit. The credit cards were reportedly found on the ground where Hall was sitting.

Hall provided her information to Choate and while he was speaking with the camp host, he reported seeing Hall running into the camp host’s camper and Lane chasing her. Hall ran to the bedroom area where she was reportedly resisting but was then caught by the two officers and restrained.

As she was being escorted out of the camper, Hall screamed, stopped at the door and refused to go any further. She continued to yell as they pulled her from the doorway, then took a step to the ground and reportedly fell to her knees. Choate then picked her up by her arms and escorted her to his patrol unit, where she began kicking him from inside the unit. After some resistance, Choate told Hall if she didn’t get in the vehicle, he was going to tase her.

Hall got into the seat but would not put her leg into the unit, so Choate was forced to lift her into the passenger seat. When the deputy asked her for a second time to lean back so he could get the seatbelt on her, she reportedly continued to resist but was locked into the patrol unit.

Hall was then transported to Northeastern Health Systems Sequoyah by Choate but while en route, she placed both of her feet on the passenger’s side dash. When she refused to remove them, the deputy stopped and secured Hall with ankle restraints.

Hall then attempted to kick the deputy according to the affidavit, and on the way to the hospital called him various names and pulled away from him numerous times.

Hall then reportedly accused the deputy of touching her breast, so Choate made the decision to transport her to the detention center and have a female transport her to the hospital.

Hall was booked in on pending charges of obstruction, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, assault and battery on a police officer, and providing false identification to a police officer to create liability on another.
