A DeKalb County man is facing multiple charges related to sex trafficking after a SWAT unit executed search and arrest warrants at his home Wednesday morning.

Eric Hall, 52, of Decatur, has been charged with felony trafficking persons for sexual servitude and felony pimping of a person less than 18 years old, DeKalb police spokeswoman Michaela Vincent said.

According to online jail records, Hall is also charged with multiple drug counts, including possession of both marijuana and cocaine, and trafficking in ecstasy. He is charged with possession of a handgun during the commission of a felony as well, for a total of six counts.

Police and SWAT vehicles gathered outside of a home in the 4400 block of Glenhaven Drive around 7 a.m.

A SWAT officer was seen escorting Hall away from the home in handcuffs. He has been booked into the DeKalb County Jail, where he remains without bond.
