St. Louis – A Missouri man has been indicted on a federal charge of making a threat to kill President Obama.

McCallum is scheduled to make a court appearance later this week. The Missouri Department of Corrections said McCallum has been incarcerated since 1999 for tampering and burglary.

The charge of threatening to kill the president carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines.
