Jury finds Calhoun guilty of menacing, acquits him of other charges

Calhoun had been accused of using a racial slur, while pulling a gun on a woman following a traffic accident on Colvin Avenue in North Buffalo last year.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The jury in the Jeffrey Calhoun case has found him guilty of menacing. He was acquitted on the other charges, including unlawful imprisonment and criminal impersonation.  He was also found not guilty of any hate crimes.

Calhoun was accused of using a racial slur, while pulling a gun on a woman following a traffic accident on Colvin Avenue in North Buffalo last year.

A cell-phone video shown to the jury showed Calhoun struggling with Jeanneie Muhammad after she rear-ended his truck. The incident took place last summer.

Muhammad testified that Calhoun used the slur when she testified during the first day of trial. Other witnesses who testified that day said they did not hear the slur. 

Jeffrey Calhoun took the stand himself Wednesday, claiming he did not use a racial slur toward anyone after an accident on Colvin Avenue in Buffalo last year.

The video was filmed by a bystander was on the opposite side of the street when the fender-bender between Calhoun and Muhammad took place.
