Joseph Hall, 39, of Sayre, was charged in January for neglecting his care-dependent girlfriend, according to court records. He was also recently convicted of assaulting people at the Page Manor retirement and persons-with-disabilities home in Athens, where he posed as a police officer while claiming he was searching for his wife.
Hall was sentenced last month to a minimum of one year and five months in a state correctional facility and a maximum of six years, along with fines and costs. His charges included neglecting a care-dependent person, criminal trespassing and simple assault.

Police arrested Hall in January and accused him of refusing to help his live-in girlfriend after he agreed to provide in-home health treatment, according to NorthcentralPA.com.
The victim, who is paralyzed from the waist down, was later found with significant wounds from a lack of proper care, including one wound that was covered in fecal matter, along with exposing her tailbone, NorthcentralPA.com reports
Officers were familiar with Hall after investigating shoving attacks that he unleashed at Page Manor, which led to trespassing and simple assault charges.
Hall reportedly broke into the building and later admitted he was just looking for his girlfriend. He shoved several of Page Manor’s residents, who told police he had assaulted people there before while claiming he was “looking for kids.”
Hall’s criminal history includes previous charges for criminal trespassing, receiving stolen property, access device fraud, burglary, and criminal mischief.
