Thomas Wallace of Brook Park, Ohio, is charged with second-degree manslaughter in last month’s death of 33-year-old Julie Stratton, a mother of two from Snyder, near Buffalo.

Wallace, 45, was being held in Genesee County Jail yesterday, a day after his arrest. A message left at his home was not immediately returned and it was unknown whether he had an attorney.

Investigators say Wallace also violated federal rules governing drivers by sleeping no more than four of 27 hours before the crash. Stratton’s car was struck soon after she called 911 to report she’d hit a deer east of Buffalo.
