... the lawyer called the sheriff's dept, to verify whether an actual deputy was handling a case involving his client, and the sheriff's dept told him there was no such case.

So, it's reasonable for the suspect to have been suspicious.

Where the suspect screwed up was in coming out of his home with a weapon. Should have bunkered up, and called 911 and then his lawyer.

I suspect the detective will have some interesting conversations with his supervisors. It will be interesting to see what the prosecutor's office does.
