Professional Cornhole Player, with No Arms or Legs, Accused of Murder.
A professional cornhole player who became the first quadruple amputee in the American Cornhole League is now behind bars facing murder charges after a man was shot dead in a car in southern Maryland.
Dayton James Webber, 27, of La Plata, allegedly killed 27-year-old Bradrick Michael Wells of Waldorf during an argument while driving on the evening of March 22nd, according to the Charles County Sheriff’s Office. Wells was in the front passenger seat, and two others were riding in the back.
Around 10:25 p.m., those backseat passengers flagged down La Plata police officers near Radio Station Road. They said Webber pulled over after the shooting and asked them to help pull Wells out of the car. The witnesses refused, got out, and left the scene. Webber then drove off with the victim still inside, investigators say.
Nearly two hours later, a resident in Charlotte Hall called 911 after finding a body in a yard. Officers responded and pronounced Wells dead at the scene.
Webber’s car was later located in Charlottesville, Virginia. He was found at a nearby hospital seeking medical treatment and arrested by Albemarle County officers. He’s awaiting extradition back to Charles County, where authorities plan to charge him with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and other related offenses.
Webber lost his arms and legs at 10 months old after a bacterial infection left him with just a 3% chance of survival. He went on to compete in national cornhole events and win the Maryland state championship before turning pro in the league.
