Judge Denies Bond for Quadruple-Amputee Cornhole Player in Maryland Murder Case

The ruling keeps the 27-year-old in jail pending a May 6 preliminary hearing.

Overview

  • Dayton Webber was ordered held without bond Wednesday in Charles County after his first court appearance by video.
  • Webber, who was extradited Tuesday from Virginia, was arrested at a Charlottesville hospital days after the March 22 shooting near La Plata.
  • Prosecutors said police found a gun in his Tesla that was consistent with the murder weapon, and investigators obtained a warrant to pull any video saved to the car’s camera thumb drive.
  • Charging documents say two backseat passengers reported a heated dispute over drugs, guns and a woman before Webber shot Bradrick Wells during the drive.
  • Webber’s attorney says he fired in self-defense, and the court scheduled a preliminary hearing for May 6.
