JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — A former Marine and Clark County resident who was wounded in Iraq has been missing for nearly a week in Florida.

Eric Hall, 24, left the Deep Creek, Fla., home of a relative he was staying with on Sunday, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office. He rode away on a motorcycle that was later found on a roadside, still running.

Hall had been hallucinating and having flashbacks, the sheriff’s office states. Officials said Friday they were still searching.

Hall was injured in June 2005 when a bomb exploded while he was on patrol. He was treated for damage to his right arm, left leg and hip and the left side of his abdomen. He spent 13 weeks in the hospital and was then granted medical retirement by the Marines.

Hall’s father, Kevin, said his son had been struggling with the stress and his injuries since he returned home. He said the 2002 Jeffersonville High School graduate had moved to Florida to “get things together.”
