    Second suspect arrested in kidnapping, robbery of high school student

    ST. PETERSBURG -- A second suspect has been arrested and charged in the Jan. 18 armed kidnapping and robbery of a St. Petersburg Catholic High School student.

    Antoine Wallace, 19, was arrested Wednesday at 18th Avenue S and 34th Street.

    Police say Wallace and Tyrone Singletary, 22, forced Dean Marshlack into Marshlack's 2001 Ford Expedition at gunpoint in January. The two suspects spent 21/2 hours driving around, searching for a tire service that would remove the chrome rims and tires worth $9,000. Marshlack was not injured, but the suspects drove off with the rims and tires.

    Wallace is in the Pinellas County Jail.
