Davenport Man Charged With Attempted Murder

Attempted murder is the charge Davenport police filed. The man who was struck refused medical care at the scene. No jury has heard this case.

Davenport police say the strike happened just before 11 a.m. Thursday in a parking lot at the Amazon fulfillment center at 2022 Research Parkway. Jadyn J. Welborn, 20, of Moline, worked there. Police say managers walked him out after he threatened other employees. He then got into occupied vehicles until one man confronted him.

Police say warehouse video shows Welborn driving into that man and into cars around him. The man was thrown up and over the vehicle. He declined medical care. Welborn was arrested Thursday afternoon. The charges are attempted murder, willful injury, assault while displaying a weapon, three counts of second-degree criminal mischief, and one count of fourth-degree criminal mischief. He is in the Scott County Jail on a $48,600 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for 10 a.m. on Nov. 20. Officers asked for a mental health evaluation.

All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
