Authorities say an Iowa Amazon employee was escorted from a warehouse after threatening coworkers, then drove over a man moments later.
Jadyn Welborn, 20, is charged with attempted murder, assault, three counts of second-degree criminal mischief, and reckless driving, according to Scott County jail records reviewed by Law & Crime. He remains held at the Scott County Jail.
According to law enforcement, Welborn turned around and deliberately drove toward a landscaped median where the victim was standing. The vehicle struck the man and sent him onto and over the car.
Police said Welborn then collided with another vehicle.
Investigators found no indication that Welborn attempted to slow down before hitting the victim.
Emergency crews responded, but the victim—who reported pain in his back and legs—declined medical treatment.
Welborn is being held on a $48,600 bond. Authorities have requested a mental health evaluation, KWQC reported.
His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 20.
