San Antonio, TX – Members of the U.S. Marshals-led Task Force Tuesday afternoon arrested OL Wallace Jr., 18, in the 3400 block of Salado Creek Drive in San Antonio. Wallace Jr. had been sought on three warrants for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a homicide charge from the San Antonio Police Department that was issued Jan. 19 by a Magistrate Judge in Bexar County.
