We first met Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Darnell Calhoun last March at his new station in Lake Elsinore. It was a far cry from the 90-minute commute to San Diego, where he'd served two years as a police officer.and other big cities to work for the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Calhoun was happy he could spend more time with his two little boys. We asked if more money would have made him stay in San Diego. He said,"Yes, money would have been great, but ... it would have been something really significant, because I really am valuing the fact that I’m home. I’m patrolling home, and I like being closer just to family and to home, my new colleagues are really great ... I miss some of the people I work with in San Diego, but I’m glad I’m here.
Calhoun was shot Friday while answering a domestic violence call in Lake Elsinore. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco noted that Calhoun's entire shift from San Diego rushed up to Inland Valley Regional Medical Center after the shooting."I instantly liked him," Crenshaw told KPBS."He was just happy, outgoing ... he would always have a smile on his face. He and I would always tell cheesy dad jokes to each other.
