Adult man charged with stalking teen

A Lewisburg man who was arrested nine months ago on charges of soliciting and stalking a minor was indicted by Bedford County grand jury Monday.

According to public records at Bedford County Sheriff's Department, Andy Lynn Wallace, 35, of Nashville Highway was arrested shortly after midnight on Wednesday, Feb. 4, and was also charged with driving under the influence in addition to the two other charges.

Wallace pleaded guilty on the DUI charge before Bedford County General Sessions Court Judge Charles Rich earlier this year, but the charges of solicitation and stalking were heard by the grand jury on Monday.

"Wallace was sending text messages to a 16-year-old juvenile female and also making inappropriate requests of the female juvenile via text message," Bedford County Sheriff's Department records state.

"Wallace admitted via text messages that he was sitting ... in the juvenile's driveway outside of her residence... [and asked her] to come outside to meet with him."

A call about the text messages was made to the sheriff's office and authorities found Wallace "approximately 100 yards from the juvenile's residence," according to public records.

Wallace was released on Feb. 5 on $32,000 bond and he is represented by attorney John Norton.
