Steven Calkins being served his summons at his home in Iowa. Former Collier County deputy Steven Calkins was served with a summons at his Iowa home this week in the wrongful death lawsuit of Terrance Williams. The lawsuit was filed by Hollywood mogul, Tyler Perry alongside well known Civil Rights attorney, Ben Crump. They hope the lawsuit will push Calkins to give his sworn testimony. The former deputy was the final person to see both Terrance Williams and Felipe Santos before they disappeared nearly 15 years ago.
