Davenport man sentenced for eluding
A Davenport man who spent Thanksgiving 2024 in the Scott County Jail after police say he led them on a chase at over 90 mph has been sentenced.

A Scott County judge sentenced him on May 29 to a period of five years in the Iowa Department of Corrections for a period of five years, with credit for time served in the Scott County Jail. He was fined $1,025 plus a 15% crime surcharge. He was sentenced to a period of two years in the Iowa Department of Corrections, with credit for time served. He was also fined $855 plus a 15% crime surcharge.
The sentences were suspended, and Slater was placed on probation for three years. He must obtain a mental health evaluation and complete any recommended treatment, complete the Residential Corrections Facility program and complete the Victim Impact Panel through QCALM.
A high speed chase in November 2024
On November 22, 2024 at about 1:30 a.m., Davenport Police saw a Dodge Durango with no license plates and heavily tinted windows traveling east on East Locust Street from Bridge Avenue. Officers tried to initiate a traffic stop but the SUV began accelerating away from them. The SUV reached reported speeds of 90+ mph in a 35 mph zone and ran multiple stop signs. The driver was identified as Slater, who drove the wrong way on Bridge Avenue and the Centennial Bridge. It then struck a 'pedestrian vehicle' at West River Drive and Bridge Avenue, and left off. A pedestrian vehicle is a self-propelled conveyance, such as a wheelchair, for use by a person with a physical disability.

Auburn Sustenance Project feeds hundreds of hungry K-12 students
AUBURN, Ala. (WRBL) – When school lets out in Auburn, hunger sets in. While most families are planning vacations or sleeping in, hundreds of Auburn City School children are quietly going without meals—because when the cafeteria closes, so does their only reliable source of food. It's a crisis most people don't see. And in a city like Auburn, many don't even realize it's happening. In Auburn, one small act of kindness is growing into something much bigger. The Auburn Sustenance Project began with a question. 'And a student asked, 'Hey, what happens during school breaks in Auburn city?'' said Dr. Caroline Payne-Purvis, faculty advisor for the Auburn Sustenance Project. 'We had just moved here. COVID was wrapping up sort of and so the question was becoming, what's happening normally? There was some, but very little. And so they decided they wanted to adopt a few families for that Thanksgiving.' What began as a class project feeding a few families over Thanksgiving has grown into a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit now serving hundreds of local children during all breaks from school, including holidays. 'We fed over 250 kids this time,' Payne-Purvis said. 'Our highest summer numbers are usually about 150.' Now, the need is greater than ever—and so is the call for volunteers. 'The project welcomes anyone,' said Katie White, a member of the Auburn Sustenance Project. 'You don't realize how impactful something can be. I feel like people don't think you can do it yourself, and people don't think that Auburn is in need. But the need is great. And the impact, organizers say, is real. 'From the high school senior who is taking care of her younger siblings now because she was able to get them out of foster care,' Payne-Purvis said, 'to the mom who was able to get out of, you know, rough situations because she was able to get food and be able to put the down payment on a deposit for a rent.' White added: 'Because I know we're not the final answer, but we might be like a little band aid to help them get through a hard time.' Their next food packing and distribution event is scheduled for June 18 at First Baptist Church of Auburn. Packing begins at 1 p.m. and distribution runs from 5 to 7 p.m. Volunteers of all ages are welcome, and no sign-up is required.
