"I stood before our community last week confident that there would be more arrests coming as we sought justice for the heinous acts committed against Deputy Hall," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Our detectives continue to pursue every lead in this case and will not stop until all those who helped this despicable man after what he did are held accountable."
The sheriff's office had previously reported that Deputy Hall was working overtime as part of HCSO's impaired driver operation during the 4th of July weekend.
He spotted a BMW that was unable to stay in the lane and approached it to pull it over, but as he walked up, the car took off. Later, he pulled up to the car as it was parked, and as he ran over to it, the BMW revved up and struck him.
Hall's leg was broken in two places and has been recovering at home after being treated at Tampa General Hospital.

Four suspects overall have been arrested, including Lewis' girlfriend and a friend who drove him to Pasco County.
