The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office fired probationary Deputy Kaleem Chohan, 24, after South Daytona Police arrested him April 26 on a charge of misdemeanor domestic battery, according to a press release.
Chohan, 24, was involved in an altercation with a family member, according to the release.
“His failure to de-escalate as he had been trained reflect a serious lapse in judgment that falls far below the standards expected of an employee,” said Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Chief of Staff Mark Strobridge. “This kind of behavior will not be tolerated and erodes public confidence. Deputies are expected to exercise sound judgment, self-control, and professionalism on and off duty.”
Chohan joined the agency on April 30, 2025.
He was released from the Volusia County Branch Jail April 27 on $100 bond.
