(MOBILE, Ala.) We're learning more about Lawrence Wallace, who killed Officer Steven Green Friday afternoon. Before Wallace over powered Green in the sally port at Mobile Metro Jail, LOCAL 15 News taped him getting into a police cruiser. In the video, Wallace grabs a medallion he's wearing, an object he may have used to kill Green.
Wallace's stepfather says he made jewelry and is certain he made that necklace. Charlie Harden says his stepson went to Bishop State to learn how to make jewelry.
"He graduated as a designer of jewelry," said Harden. "He was very innovative with his hands."
Wallace even talked about his necklace while walking to the patrol car.
"You see that? That's a hole 36. If you want it, you can get it split. That's a 9 right there, you know what I'm talking about?" said Wallace.
Wallace was being taken to jail Friday because police say he robbed a Dollar General store and set a small fire. He was arrested for robbery in 2007 and last April, was arrested for marijuana possession.
Harden says as he mourns the loss of his stepson, his thoughts and prayers are also with Officer Green's family.
"It's a tragedy," said Harden. "I just wish it never happened."
