Prison guard locks social workers in office over child support dispute

Warner Robins, GA A Georgia prison guard has been arrested after allegedly imprisoning social welfare workers in an office. Quantraves Hall, 25, faces multiple charges of false imprisonment and terroristic threats.

The incident occurred late last week at the Georgia Department of Family and Child Services offices. Hall reportedly became upset regarding his child support payments and entered the building demanding answers.

After locking the front door, he prevented four employees from leaving. Hall is accused of berating the staff, expressing anger over his financial obligations, and attempting to access a restricted area.

Security personnel eventually removed him from the premises. Police arrived shortly afterward to take statements from the affected employees.

One of the social workers experienced hyperventilation during the interview, showing visible distress over the situation. Hall had already departed by the time officers arrived.

He later returned to the police station voluntarily and spoke with investigators. Hall acknowledged locking the door but claimed he had unlocked it afterward. He admitted to cursing at the staff but became contentious during the questioning.

The following day, Hall was terminated from his position with the Georgia Department of Corrections after being charged. The department issued a statement underscoring its commitment to public safety and condemning Hall’s actions.

After being detained in the Houston County Jail, he posted bond. No court dates are currently scheduled for Hall’s case.
