Douglas David McCallum took a serious wrong turn, fueled, he said, by financial desperation and his frustration with the Social Security Administration's continued denial of his disability claim.
McCallum battled for six years to secure a claim his lawyers told him was a sure thing. But Social Security officials ruled otherwise, and McCallum's patience gave out Sunday evening, when he rammed his van into the closed Social Security Administration office on Munson Avenue in Traverse City.
"It was a fit of rage caused by years of being screwed over by the government," said McCallum, 47, of Kingsley.
Police arrested McCallum for malicious destruction of property, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
