Spanish term or phrase: calmado

This is from a handwritten affidavit. Because of the legibility of the text, I'm only about 90% sure that I've transcribed it correctly.The last part doesn't make a lot of sense.

Fue (mi primo) para Ohio y después supe que estaba preso pero nunca entendí porque si el era calmado para lo que se dice del.

Explanation:
He went (my cousin) to Ohio and then I heard he was in jail but I never understood why because he was easy-going (or mellow) as far as anyone knew.
