  • Aggravated burglary – three counts
  • Theft – Property – two counts
  • Possession of firearm commission of dangerous felon - two counts

“While Wallace was being held on charges for the crimes that he committed in Stewart County during his September and October crime spree, Investigators with my office worked very diligently with our DA’s Office, agents with the TBI, the TBI Crime Lab, and the victim and victims’ families, and were able to lay out a very solid case for the Grand Jury. Now that these indictments have been served, we will begin the process of insuring that justice is served for these victims,” said Sheriff John Fuson.

Wallace pled not guilty to all charges.
