U.S. Marshals Capture West Tennessee Rape Suspect

Henderson County, TN – William Andrew Wallace, 26, who was wanted by the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office for Rape, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) earlier this week.

In November 2024, the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office began investigating a rape allegation involving William “Drew” Wallace. That investigation led to the issuance of a warrant for Wallace’s arrest for Rape out of Henderson County Circuit Court.

U.S. Marshals were requested to find and apprehend Wallace. On May 5, the Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force in Jackson tracked Wallace to a residence in the 3300 block of Shady Hill Road in Lexington, TN. Deputy marshals and task force officers took him into custody without incident. He was transported to the Henderson County Jail.

The U.S. Marshals Service Two Rivers Violent Fugitive Task Force is a multi-agency task force within Western Tennessee. The TRVFTF has offices in Memphis and Jackson, and its membership is primarily composed of Deputy U.S. Marshals, Shelby, Fayette, Tipton, and Gibson County Sheriff’s Deputies, Memphis and Jackson Police Officers, Tennessee Department of Correction Special Agents and the Tennessee Highway Patrol. Since 2021, the TRVFTF has captured over 3,000 violent offenders and sexual predators.
