While serving time in prison, McCallum was charged with unlawful use of a weapon in Randolph County. He was given an additional five years in prison after pleading guilty to that charge.
McCallum was incarcerated at the Northeast Correctional Center in Bowling Green in August 2009 when he mailed the threatening letter that read in part, "The president needs to be shot....if I was out there I would do it myself or at least try to. When I get out, all those I’ve mentioned will be dealt with.”
