Welcome to Arrest Stories. A professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee has been arrested for murder. Heres what may have happened.
On Sunday, March 22, in Charlottesville, Virginia, Dayton James Webber, a 27-year-old professional cornhole player and quadruple amputee, was arrested in connection with the murder of Bradrick Michael Wells. According to the police report, the shooting occurred during an argument in the front seat of Webber's car.
Webber, who played in the American Cornhole League, is a quadruple amputee due to a Streptococcus pneumoniae bacterial infection he contracted at 10 months old. At around 10:25 p.m. on Sunday, Webber was driving his car with Wells as the front-seat passenger when they began arguing in view of other passengers. Two witnesses, who were also in the vehicle, exited the car and fled after the argument escalated.
Webber's vehicle sped off, and the witnesses flagged down police. However, it was not until about two hours later that someone found Wells' body dumped in their front yard. An investigation revealed that Webber had shot Wells twice in the head.
In a statement, Webber expressed gratitude for the medical professionals who saved his life as a child, saying, "I'm thankful for the Lord and giving those surgeons the power that He did that day to make such a miracle happen." He also acknowledged that people often underestimate him due to his physical disability, stating, "People often underestimate me when they see me — no matter the context."
Webber is currently facing charges of first-degree murder and second-degree murder. The investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear what led to the fatal argument between Webber and Wells.
