Calhoun, who has a long history of felony conviction dating back to 2004, pleaded guilty in November 2019 to a number of felonies, including burglary, unauthorized possession of a stolen vehicle, and injuring an officer and a police dog when they tried to arrest him. He was serving four concurrent sentences — the longest was 50 months — and was originally projected to be released in June 2022, Willamette Week reported.
After his stint as a firefighter, then-Gov. Kate Brown granted him a “conditional clemency” and released him on July 22, 2021.
Last month, Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt requested that Calhoun’s commutation be revoked, according to the Oregonian.
“Since his release from custody pursuant to this commutation, Mr. Calhoun has been involved in criminal activity currently under investigation by Oregon law enforcement,” Schmidt wrote to Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek’s office.
Betty Bernt, a spokesperson for the Oregon Department of Corrections, said that Calhoun was “admitted back to DOC custody” on July 6 to serve the rest of his sentence, until June 9, 2024.
So far, he has not been charged in connection with the four murders, but law enforcement sources say they expect that to change.
