Wallace was arrested after his brief playing career.

Wallace retired from baseball in 1997 after just three seasons in the minors, having never reached the majors. He later served as an assistant baseball coach in Gulf Shore, Alabama. He and his wife were arrested in 2011 and charged with "cooking methamphetamine inside a home they shared with their three children, just a few hundred yards away from Loxley Elementary School," according to AL.com.
