During an interview with authorities on November 19, Wallace told authorities that she had been taking medication that caused her to lose track of time.
Wallace is charged with a Class B Felony for Abandonment of a Child; and Class D Felonies for Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the First Degree and Abuse or Neglect-No Sexual Contact. Bond is set at $50,000 cash or surety.
