Dover, Tenn.– Two Stewart County residents have been arrested, charged with giving shelter to accused murderer and arsonist Kirby Wallace, who was the subject of a weeks-long manhunt in September. Wallace is now in jail, accused of killing two people and seriously injuring two more during violent home invasions. He also set fire to the home of two of his victims.
On Monday, the Stewart County Grand Jury indicted Derek Eugene Summers, age 41, and Mindy Elaine Harris, age 33, on charges of being accessories after the fact.
Summers is currently being held in the Cheatham Co. Jail on an unrelated charge, was served with the capias Tuesday. Harris was arrested and booked into the Stewart Co. Jail. They are being held on $20,000 bonds.
An investigation by special agents of the TBI and investigators by the Stewart Co. Sheriff’s Office resulted in their arrest.
The new arrests involve the homicide that occurred September 23 on Rorie Hollow Road in Indian Mound. During the course of the investigation, agents developed information that stolen property from that homicide was located at the Woodlawn residence of Summers and Harris. Further investigation revealed that Kirby Wallace had been at the couple’s residence some time after the homicide occurred.
Wallace was the subject of an intense manhunt in Stewart and Montgomery Counties that involved hundreds of area and state law enforcement officers, first responders and their K9s. Wallace was found in a remote wooded area by Henry Co. Sheriff Monte Belew, Sgt. Stacey Bostwick and Bostwick’s K9 Rowdy.
