A Seneca man is currently in custody on various charges, including trafficking in methamphetamine, on a $108,602.50 bond after his arrest on March 25.

The man is 61-year-old David Allen Wallace of Landon Drive in Seneca, South Carolina.

During the afternoon of March 19, a Uniform Patrol Bureau deputy attempted to stop Wallace, who was riding a motorcycle, after seeing him run a stop sign on Durham Brown Road near S. Friendship Road. Wallace did not pull over, according to a press release from the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office.

The chase ended in a parking lot on Meehan Way near S. Mechanic Street in Pendleton, South Carolina, where the deputy proceeded to search Wallace’s motorcycle and find 38.06 grams of methamphetamine in the vehicle.

The deputy charged Wallace with trafficking in methamphetamine, driving under suspension, reckless driving, failure to stop for a blue light and being a habitual traffic offender after this pursuit.

Wallace was also served an outstanding arrest warrant on a possession of fentanyl charge once he was booked into jail. This warrant was obtained from an incident in February 2024, when law enforcement seized narcotics from Landon Drive in Seneca — the street in which Wallace lives — during a warrant service.

Additionally, Wallace was served two outstanding general session bench warrants on charges of second-degree burglary. A general session bench warrant in South Carolina refers to an order that tells law enforcement to arrest an individual who has violated a court order, according to the South Carolina Judicial Branch.

Wallace was initially arrested by the Anderson County Sheriff’s office, then booked into the Oconee County Detention Center on March 26 at 1:52 a.m. The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office has also placed a hold on Wallace.

If Wallace is released from jail, he will be required to wear an electronic monitoring device “as a condition of bond,” according to the press release. The OCSO will continue its investigation.
