On November 20, 2022, deputies responded to Skidder Way, Jasper, GA in reference to a call from a female that an ex-boyfriend, Scott Eric Shane Wallace (54 years old) had entered the residence without consent and threatened to burn the residence down.
Wallace would not respond when deputies arrived. Wallace had multiple Aggravated Assault warrants out of Gordon County.

As he was coming out the front door, Wallace was met by 2 Cherokee S.W.A.T. members, he had a lighter and lighter fluid in his hands. He was taken into custody.
Charges are pending for Burglary, Aggravated Assault, and Arson.
No law enforcement officers were injured.
