(MOBILE, Ala.) “This is all part of a movie man,” robbery suspect Lawrence Wallace told reporters as he was led out of Mobile Police headquarters. “See y’all in a minute.”
Minutes later, Wallace would stab one of the arresting police officers to death.Wallace was driven to Metro Jail, where he fatally stabbed Officer Steven Green in the Sally Port. Police sources have told LOCAL 15 Wallace’s weapon was a small blade attached to a necklace he was wearing.
“He just started stabbing the officer in the neck,” a shocked witness said. “The inmates were going crazy.”
Wallace somehow commandeered a law enforcement vehicle and took off onto Dauphin Island Parkway with police in pursuit. He ditched the vehicle and holed up in a house in the 1300 block of Daytona Street. Wallace came into the possession of a firearm, but officials will not confirm whether or not it was a law enforcement weapon taken from the stolen vehicle or the fallen police officer.
A stand-off ensued, with one police officer shot in the arm during an exchange of fire. Shotgun blasts tore holes in the house to shoot tear gas inside in hopes of smoking out Wallace. When he didn’t come out, a tactical team with automatic weapons entered and fatally shot Wallace.
