Frank Lee McCall

MONTGOMERY — A Silverhill man has been sentenced in a Federal court to more than seven years on charges of theft and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

According to a press release issued by U.S. Attorney Richard W. Moore of the Southern District of Alabama, Frank Lee McCall III, 29, of Silverhill pled guilty in August of 2018 on charges of stealing a firearm and being a felon in possession of firearms.

U.S. District Court Judge William H. Steele sentenced McCall on Tuesday to 87 months imprisonment on each count with the sentences to run concurrently.

He ordered that McCall serve a three-year term of supervised release when he is released from custody, during which he will undergo mental health counseling and treatment as well as drug abuse counseling and treatment. No fine was imposed, but McCall was ordered to pay $200 in special mandatory assessments.

The case was investigated by the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office, the Loxley Police Department and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force. It was prosecuted in the U.S. Attorney’s Office by assistant U.S. attorney Gloria A. Bedwell.

According to Baldwin County Jail records, McCall was booked in May on multiple charges of unlawful breaking and entering of a vehicle and discharging a firearm into an unoccupied dwelling or vehicle. He was also booked on similar charges in November of 2017.

The Baldwin County Department of Corrections website lists bookings for McCall dating back to 2007 when he was just 19. Charges include robbery, assault and burglary.
