SALINE CO.—We have been working to confirm reports of a throat slashing in Carrier Mills that reportedly occurred Monday, May 20.
Moments ago authorities confirmed to Disclosure that a Carrier Mills man was indeed rushed to a nearby hospital after his throat was slashed earlier yesterday.
LeRoy Wallace
There is no subject in custody however, because sources indicate the man, identified as LeRoy Wallace, 47, was taken from 1115 North Main in Carrier Mills by Med Force Ambulance after 911 was called at approximately 4:30 a.m.
Wallace was transported to Harrisburg Medical Center then air lifted to Evansville for treatment of what is being described as a “self-inflicted” wound.
Wallace appears to be no stranger to the Saline County court system.
Court records indicate that he has a pending case in which he was arrested in August of 2012 and charged with one count each of Aggravated DUI/Fifth Offense and Improper Lane Usage.
He also has a pending case from February of this year in which he is charged with one count each of Aggravated DUI/Sixth Offense, Driving on Suspended License and Improper Lane Usage.
Keep checking back for additional details as they become available.
