The police have arrested Ernest Wallace in Florida in connection with the murder of Odin Lloyd involving former Patriots star Aaron Hernandez after a manhunt that came after they released his wanted photo to the public.
According to Fox 25 Boston, Wallace was found in Florida and is now the third man coming into custody for the death of Odin Lloyd that also involved Hernandez. Wallace had an alert put out on Thursday after police identified him and they mentioned his Chrysler 300, which was later recovered in Boston. Connecticut, Massachusetts, Georgia and Florida were listed as places where he might be and now the 41-year-old has been brought in as an accessory after the fact in the Lloyd Murder.
He now joins Hernandez and Carlos Ortiz as the men brought in so far in connection with the murder and now more information is coming out about him as well. His car was found in Bristol, Connecticut when someone noticed that it was there for over a week and after someone called and found it, the police came and checked it out.
Hernandez is currently being held without bail in the case after being denied twice, including in a hearing on Thursday. Details have come out about the case, including where Lloyd was shot and when, but it appears as though Wallace is not implicated in the murder, but may have helped cover it up or something worse than that. The report says that the Mass. State Police's Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section was involved in the arrest and that his car was later towed after it was called in.
Wallace was listed as armed and dangerous and now he joins the other two men already in lockup, although his involvement in the case is not yet fully clear.
