Police Officer C.J. Callemyn of Hillsborough had been with the Durham, N.C. department since 2005. Previously he served in in both the United States Marine Corps and the Army Reserves and was deployed to Iraq for a short time. After a tour of duty in Afghanistan, he presented the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Hillsborough with a flag that flew over Bagram Air Force Base for nine hours and 11 minutes. It sits alongside special plaques in a display case at the church. He was a Duke University police officer before joining Durham's police force. CJ was in the news in February 2006 when he was injured after being dragged two blocks by a Chevrolet Tahoe. In that incident he witnessed what he believed to be an illegal drug transaction at a convenience store. After a suspect said he couldn't provide a license or registration, Callemyn placed his arm in the vehicle and asked the man to step out. Instead, the man accelerated, dragging Callemyn beside the vehicle at speeds approaching 45 mph before swerving, causing Callemyn to be thrown 100 feet into the roadway. He was later treated for bruises and abrasions and released. C.J. was en route to check with another officer who had stopped a vehicle a few blocks away when he was killed in a traffic accident at age 33.
