Man Charged in Alachua Road Rage Incident

ALACHUA – A Gainesville man was arrested Saturday morning after allegedly pointing a gun at another vehicle during a road rage incident in Alachua, according to police.

Glenn David MacCallum, 51, was taken into custody by the Alachua Police Department (APD) after officers responded to a report of an armed confrontation involving a family on U.S. Highway 441.

According to the police report, the victims told dispatchers at 8:55 a.m. that a man had pointed a firearm at them and their child “without provocation.” An officer responding to the call located a vehicle matching the description provided by the victims and conducted a high-risk traffic stop.

Police said MacCallum was detained without incident, and a loaded black pistol was found holstered in his waistband. After being read his Miranda rights, MacCallum reportedly declined to speak with law enforcement.

The victims later identified MacCallum “without a shadow of a doubt” as the individual who brandished the weapon and confirmed it matched the black pistol recovered by police, according to the report.

Authorities also determined that MacCallum’s driver’s license had been suspended indefinitely in September 2024.

He faces three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of knowingly driving with a suspended license. Court records indicate that MacCallum has no prior criminal history.

Alachua County Judge Susanne Wilson Bullard ordered him held without bail pending a hearing on a motion from the State Attorney’s Office seeking pretrial detention. If the motion is denied, bail will be set at that hearing in addition to the $250 bond already set for the traffic offense.
