Who robs priests at gunpoint and steals their car?




In 1934 he shot his commanding officer in Oklahoma and received Manslaughter.



He was paroled  by 1944



He only recieved a 7 year sentenced and only got manslaughter. 


His Father Jame A McCullough was an active member of the KKK. I found this out from his obituary. The Klan left burning cross of flowers on his grave. He was also the clerk of county court. He also ran for county Treasurer. 




KKK Articles 





Wallace was married to Ida W Woods (1919-1997). Wallace died 11 Sep 1952 in Sacramento, CA they are both buried at Golden Gate Cemetery in Bruno, CA.

I did not find any children. I would bet he has a lot more jail and prison records. 

What was his father like? Is he why Wallace turned to crime at age 18?
