Days after the death of longtime sports agent Jeff Sperbeck, the Riverside County sheriff said the department hasn’t found any indication of criminal activity in his Saturday fall from a golf cart driven by friend and Broncos Hall of Famer John Elway in La Quinta, California.
In fact, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco told The Denver Post on Friday that there was “nothing that we have found” to indicate law enforcement should’ve been involved.

“This appears to be a horrific accident,” Bianco said Friday. “And unfortunately for all of those involved, one of the people – well, a couple of them – happen to be very high-profile celebrities. And that makes this more of an issue than it probably should be.”
After Elway’s party called 911 from the private California country club The Madison Club, first responders didn’t immediately flag the sheriff’s department for any sort of investigation, Bianco said. The sheriff’s department, Bianco said, only got involved after a “massive media inquiry” from a slew of outlets followed confirmation that Elway was driving the golf cart.
Bianco also told The Post that medical personnel at the scene did not find any evidence to indicate Elway was inebriated.

The department also conducted an equipment evaluation of the golf cart and Bianco said no one told him there were any malfunctions.
“It is common practice for medical personnel, whether it be an ambulance personnel or hospital personnel or even fire personnel, to call us after the scene of an accident because something doesn’t look right,” Bianco said. “And this was not the case.”
Bianco added that the process will likely be “relatively short.” The sheriff’s department is reviewing surveillance footage and witness testimony in the ongoing investigation.
“We’re doing everything we can to make sure that this is what it appears to be, and just an accident,” Bianco said.
