Two men were arrested recently on charges relating to alleged sex crimes.

Jody Dale Hall, 38, of Huntington, was arrested in Logan by West Virginia State Police Trooper P.J. Dick for two counts of failure to register as a sex offender on Feb. 13.

According to law enforcement reports, on Feb. 13, Trooper Dick was contacted by the Logan Police Department concerning an accused sex offender.

Trooper Dick investigated the complaint and reportedly found that Hall had registered a different physical address and phone number than where he was reportedly residing.

"Hall admitted in a written statement that he no longer lived at (the previous) address and no longer had (the previous) phone number and failed to register this information (with) the Logan detachment of the West Virginia State Police within the required 10-day time frame," the report states.

Hall's address was listed as Logan on his criminal complaint, but he had a Huntington address on the sex offender registry. Hall was listed as being from Cabell County on the West Virginia Sex Offender Registry (http://www.wvstatepolice.com/sexoff/websearchform.cfm).

He was convicted on June 13, 2001, for having sex with a female relative victim between the ages of 6-12.

The Web site states Hall committed "Sexual Battery by an Authority Figure and Attempted Sexual Battery by an Authority Figure in the state of Tennessee" where he served approximately 7 1/2 years in a correctional facility. His victims were reportedly two female acquaintances one who was between the ages of 0-5 years and another between the ages of 6-12.

Hall was taken into custody and booked at the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden at 3:52 a.m.

James Donald Vickers, 39, of Big Creek, was arrested in Logan County by WVSP Trooper J.K. Harris for sexual assault on Feb. 11.
