TRAVERSE CITY — A squealing sound from his 1999 Chevy Astro van on a trip to visit his mother prompted Douglas David McCallum to ram his vehicle through the Traverse City Social Security Administration’s office doors, according to documents released today by the county prosecutor.

He had been trying to obtain disability benefits from Social Security for a back injury since 2005. He ran over the sign, then took a running start and backed his van into the building twice, going all the way into the building the second time, according to police reports.

McCallum told police he didn’t know what would happen when he slammed into the building, but he did so intentionally.

Grand Traverse County Prosecuting Attorney Alan Schneider charged McCallum, 47, of Kingsley, with malicious destruction of property over $1,000 but less than $20,000, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of $10,000 or three times the damages, whichever is greater.



Does he remind any of you of anyone?

Sorry, but I tend to lol when I see/hear of people attempting to fix problems of their own making in such amazingly short-sighted ways.

Although I'd imagine that first hit felt really really good to the guy. lol

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Police say a man robbed a Minneapolis bank with the hopes of being caught.

Minneapolis Police were called to a Wells Fargo Bank on 800 Park Ave. just before 6:30 p.m. on July 7.

A bank employee said the robber, Hassan Muse Farah, had walked through the front entrance and gave one of the tellers a threatening hand written note.

The teller gave him money from the register. Then Farah, 20, walked over to a chair in the business lobby and sat down to wait until police arrived and he was arrested.

Police said Farah waived his Miranda rights, admitted to robbing the bank, and has been charged with second degree aggravated robbery.

They say he robbed the bank and waited for them to arrive just so he could be sent to prison or deported.

Farah remains in custody. Bail is set at $50,000.
