The District Attorney’s Office announced the conviction of Kyle Scott Wallace on 12 charges, including aggravated assault on law enforcement, resisting arrest and vandalism.

According to District Attorney General Craig Northcott, Wallace was found guilty on 12 of 14 counts by the jury on Tuesday, Oct. 27, following a two-day trial.

Specifically, Wallace was found guilty of two counts of Aggravated Assault on two Manchester Police Department officers, one count of Aggravated Assault on Law Enforcement, one count of Assault on Law Enforcement, one count of Resisting Arrest with a Deadly Weapon, one count of Resisting Arrest, one count of Disorderly Conduct, two counts of Reckless Endangerment with a Deadly Weapon, one count of Vandalism of $2500 to $10,000, one count of Vandalism of $1,000 to $2,500 and one count of Aggravated Criminal Trespass.

“These convictions stem from Wallace terrorizing Manchester on Jan. 12, 2025,” Northcott said. “Ultimately, he arrived at a home of citizens who had no prior contact with Wallace. He threw a brick through their living room window and vandalized their home and vehicle with various weapons. When police arrived, he continued to act threatening towards at least 4 officers while brandishing a shovel and other weapons. Eventually, officers were able to subdue him and place him into custody.”

Northcott thanked the jurors for serving and fulfilling their civic duty with thoughtfulness and integrity. He also thanked the response from the Manchester Police Department and their willingness to put themselves in harm’s way to protect these citizens and our community as a whole.

“I am also grateful for the courage of the citizens to contact authorities, testify at trial and make sure this criminal was stopped,” he said. “I am grateful that they were not injured in this situation.”

The State of Tennessee was represented by ADA Jennifer Craighead at trial. The officers involved included Jon Holland, Carlos Naranjo, Jonathan Prater and Drew Leath, who Northcott said did an excellent job on scene and at trial. Judge Will Lockhart presided over the trial.

A sentencing hearing is scheduled for Jan. 20, 2027, at 1 p.m., at which time the State will request that Judge Lockhart sentence Defendant to a fully executed prison sentence for as long as the law will allow.

“To those criminals in our community, I have a message for you: THIS IS NOT MEMPHIS,” Northcott said. “You do not get to attack our law enforcement with no penalty. You do not get to terrorize our community with no consequences. We will pursue justice relentlessly and continue to seek meaningful prison sentences for those violent offenders out there.”
