CHEATHAM COUNTY, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Special Agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) have charged a murder suspect accused of threatening the TBI agent who investigated the case that resulted in his charges.
On December 6, the agent began investigating Wallace Brasel (DOB 7-26-58), an inmate of the Cheatham County Jail. Authorities previously arrested Brasel in April after a Dickson County Grand Jury returned indictments, charging him in connection to the 1998 murder of Eric Baxter.
The recent investigation revealed Brasel subsequently had phone conversations with a family member, during which he made threats of bodily harm against the TBI agent who investigated Baxter’s murder.
Today, an agent served Brasel with a warrant charging him with one count of Retaliation for Past Action. At the time of this release, he remained in the custody of the Cheatham County Jail.
