DAVENPORT, Iowa (Quad-City Times) — A Davenport man who was shot by officers in 2016 after he rammed a police car now stands accused of trying to run down an Iowa State trooper over the weekend.
The Quad-City Times says 23-year-old Rodricco Radell Parks Jr. was arrested early Saturday morning after police say a trooper pulled over a sport utility vehicle in Davenport on suspicion of excessive speeding. The trooper says that as he approached the SUV, a passenger — later identified as Parks — jumped into the driver’s seat, threw the vehicle into reverse and tried to run over the trooper.
A high-speed chase ensued and ended when police say Parks crashed into another vehicle.
