Quadruple Amputee Cornhole Pro Waives Extradition in Maryland Fatal Shooting Case
Professional cornhole player Dayton James Webber, a 27-year-old quadruple amputee previously profiled by ESPN, has waived his right to an extradition hearing in Charlottesville, Virginia, clearing the way for Maryland authorities to take custody of him in a fatal shooting case. Police in Charles County, Maryland, allege Webber shot front-seat passenger Bradrick Michael Wells, 27, of Waldorf during a heated argument Sunday night while Webber was driving, then pulled over in La Plata and asked two back-seat passengers to help remove Wellsβ body; they refused, exited the car, and flagged down officers as Webber allegedly fled with Wells still inside. About two hours later, officers responding to a report of a body in a yard in Charlotte Hall, roughly 10 miles away, found Wells dead at the scene. Webber was arrested in Albemarle County, Virginia, as a fugitive from justice and appeared by video in a bright green jumpsuit, telling the judge, βI am trying to go back to Maryland,β while his attorney declined comment and no firm transfer date was set. The case is drawing attention because of Webberβs prior inspirational media profile and the stark contrast with the current homicide allegations, underscoring that the underlying dispute and motive remain unclear pending Maryland court proceedings.
