The Arkansas State Police (ASP) and the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO) have arrested and charged DANIEL WALLACE, age 35, of Rosston, Arkansas, following a series of events on July 22, 2025, which included a shooting, a high-speed pursuit, and an exchange of gunfire. Wallace has been booked into the Nevada County Detention Center.

The incident began around 5 p.m. on July 22 when the NCSO responded to reports of a shooting at a residence on Arkansas Highway 200 in the Morris community.

Deputies arrived to find a 47-year-old male victim from Rosston suffering from life-threatening injuries. The victim was immediately airlifted to a hospital in Louisiana for emergency care, where he remains hospitalized.

A BOLO alert was issued for Wallace, who was identified as the suspect and last seen driving a white 2012 Chevy Tahoe.

Approximately an hour later, at 6 p.m., ASP Troopers located Wallace at a convenience store in Waldo, leading to a high-speed pursuit northbound on U.S. Highway 371. During the pursuit, Wallace fired multiple shots at law enforcement officers.

A tactical vehicle intervention (TVI) was conducted by an ASP Trooper, bringing Wallace’s vehicle to a stop. This led to a shootout during which two ASP vehicles were disabled.

Despite the exchange, Wallace’s vehicle remained operational, and the pursuit continued on U.S. Highway 371 North until Troopers managed to return fire in Willisville, injuring Wallace and forcing his vehicle to crash into a tree.

He was apprehended at 6:29 p.m. after a brief standoff and airlifted to UAMS in Little Rock for treatment before being transferred on Thursday, July 24, to the Nevada County Detention Center.

Wallace faces felony charges of two counts of:

• Criminal Attempt to Commit Capital Murder,

• 2 counts of Aggravated Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer,

• First-Degree Battery,

• 2 counts of Possession of a Firearm by Certain Persons,

• 7 counts of Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm from a Vehicle,

• Felony Fleeing, and

• Second-Degree Criminal Mischief.
