Hays was one of three officers charged with kicking and beating Luther Hall. A St. Louis judge on Monday, April 15, 2024, awarded nearly $23.5 million to Hall, a former police officer who was beaten by colleagues while working undercover during a 2017 protest. In 2022, Hall sued Hays, Dustin Boone and Christopher Myers for their roles in the attack. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Hays never responded to the lawsuit.
