Allen Wayne Strickland, the Tabor City teen with ties to state Sen. R.C. Soles Jr., was back in jail Monday night for violating the terms of his house arrest.

Columbus County Sheriff Chris Batten said Strickland, 17, who is known as "Frog," was hanging outside Soles' home, The Fayetteville Observer reports.

"He was down there waiting on R.C. at his house," Batten said.

A new bond of $500,000 was set for Strickland, who had already been released on a $50,000 bond and house arrest after he was charged with speeding away from police. 

Under terms of his house arrest, Strickland was not to leave the home of an aunt.

A Tabor City teen accused of burning down a house bought by state Sen. R.C. Soles Jr. was arrested Sunday and charged in connection with a high speed police chase.

Allen Wayne Strickland, 17, was driving a sports car that he has said Soles bought him when a detective spotted him, the Wilmington Star-News reports. Strickland is not supposed to drive because he does not have a license.

As the detective approached the Corvette, the vehicle turned around in the road and sped away. The detective turned on his blue lights and sirens and gave chase. The detective lost sight of the car, but found it, abandoned and wrecked in a ditch near the South Carolina line.

Authorities didn't have to look far for Strickland, who is known as "Frog." He went to a police station later in the day to report his car stolen. He was then charged with crimes related to the chase.

The case received news media attention because of Strickland's ties to Soles, who is under investigation for an incident in which he shot one of two intruders in his home. Soles is also under investigation because of allegations, quickly recanted, that he had inappropriate sexual contact with a teenaged boy.

A handful of teens follow Soles around town, yelling and making a scene if Soles ignores them, the Fayetteville Observer reports.

Stickland was arrested last week and charged in the burning of his home. Strickland, who says he is innocent, was released from jail after he says an anonymous donor paid his bond.

UPDATE: Strickland's bond was set at $500,000 during a court appearance this morning, and his car was impounded until he can produce a license, according to District Attorney Rex Gore.

SBI agents investigating events surrounding state Sen. R.C. Soles Jr. have arrested a Tabor City teenager for setting fire to the house the senator helped pay for.

Allen Wayne Strickland, 17, was charged Thursday with one count of fraudulent burning of a building and one count of attempting to obtain property by false pretenses, both felonies, reports Michael Biesecker and Mark Johnson.

The charges stem from a July 29 fire at Strickland’s home, located at 99 March Avenue in Tabor City. Soles, 74, has said he helped pay for the construction of the house.

The SBI is investigating Soles after another man claimed in a TV interview that the senator fondled him when he was 15. The man later recanted.

The agency is also investigating an incident in which Soles shot an intruder at his home on Sunday. The man was not seriously injured. A lawyer for Soles has said the shooting was self defense.
