Eddie Ray Hall is back in jail. This time, authorities say, the charges are serious enough he could be facing serious prison time, perhaps close to 20 years given his criminal history. Hall will make an appearance in court today on numerous charges. Because he had methamphetamine in his backpack when he was arrested from inside a vehicle at the Cheney-Spokane Road/Highway 195 Zip Trip about 6 p.m. Tuesday, he'll face a fresh charge of drug possession, according to the Spokane County Sheriff's Office/SR.

Question: Is it time to throw the book at Eddie Ray Hall and rid the community of this pest for as long as possible? Or has he become an endearing criminal figure that deserves on 84th chance?
