A Maryland man who made history as the first quadruple amputee to compete in the professional televised American Cornhole League has been arrested on suspicion of shooting and killing a passenger in his car during an argument.
Dayton Webber – who became a champion cornhole player after losing his limbs and nearly dying from a bacterial infection in his infancy – faces murder charges in connection with the death of Bradrick Wells, authorities said on Monday.
According to a statement from investigators with the sheriff’s office of Charles county in suburban Baltimore, Webber was driving his car with Wells as his front-seat passenger at about 10.25pm on Sunday when the pair began arguing in front of others who were in the vehicle.
Webber, 27, then allegedly shot Wells to death, pulled over in the community of La Plata, and asked the other passengers to help him remove the dead man from the car, the sheriff’s office said. The others refused, got out of the car and fled the scene while Webber drove away with the body of Wells, also 27, the agency added.

(It’s actually horrible, but still…!)
Kinda makes you examine what you’re doing with your own life while having all your limbs.
A double-tap to the head while driving a car with no limbs.
I don’t know what that guy does for work, but I bet that he’s pretty good at it.
Next they’ll just say he killed the guy with a fookin pencil
Jury nullification. We’re appalled but also impressed so we’re sending you back out to see what other zany hi-jinks you can get up to.
A fire…at a Sea Parks.
I would actually love to know more about the mechanics of all of this. Like how did he do all of this? What kind of prosthetics does he use? What kind of modifications did he make to his car to accommodate his abilities? Does he have some kind of custom gun grip to use a firearm at all?
