<p class="mol-para-with-font">Calendine is a well-known figure within the Rogersville community. At one point he was a non-paid volunteer physician with the local high school&#8217;s football team, but was stripped of the role after he was arrested for public intoxication in December 2016.<br />
Calendine, was banned from school property following the arrest, but the local school board contracted him to provide school-based health clinic services for the upcoming academic year.</p>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">He founded a free, community-based, youth fitness program — called ProStrength &; Speed — and also donated $10,000 in reward money to help find a kidnapped nine-year-old girl, Carlie Trent, in 2016. At the time, Trent, who was believed to have been kidnapped by her uncle, was one of Calendine&#8217;s patients.<br />
His arrest on sexual battery charges is not his first run in with the law. In December 2016, Calendine was arrested for public intoxication while at a nearby high school basketball game.<br />
Following the arrest, Calendine was ejected from his non-paid volunteer position as football team physician at the town&#8217;s local high school, Cherokee High School, and banned from school properties for two years, the <a class="" href="http://www.timesnews.net/Education/2016/12/15/Calendine-removed-as-Cherokee-football-team-doctor-due-to-P-I-arrest" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Times-News</a> reported.<br />
In May, however, the Rogersville City School Board of Education contracted Calendine for school-based health clinic services for the upcoming academic year.<br />
Calendine was freed on a $50,000 bond later in the day on Monday afternoon.<br />
If convicted of the charges, he could be sentenced from three to 12 years in prison. He is due in court for arraignment on August 31.</p>
