Police say driver twice struck Davenport officer who was directing traffic
A 34-year-old Davenport woman was in custody Saturday after Davenport Police say she twice struck an officer who was helping direct traffic near a Davenport school. Kaniya Williams faces felony charges of assault on persons in certain occupations – use/display of a weapon and interference with official acts – dangerous weapon, according to Scott County Court documents. Scott County Court arrest affidavits show that on Friday, May 30, uniformed officers were working at an awards assembly at Wood Intermediate School, 5701 N. Division St., to direct traffic 'when a disturbance occurred in the middle of Division Street.' After an investigation, police determined Williams was the driver of a white SUV about 11:30 a.m. that day. Officers instructed her that all vehicles must turn north onto Division Street from the parking lot. Williams said 'No' multiple times 'and willfully and intentionally accelerated her vehicle in an attempt to drive around the officer, ignoring commands to go the other direction,' affidavits say. An officer 'stepped in front of the vehicle to prevent her from going the wrong way and in the process was struck by the vehicle.' Williams backed up her SUV a second time and ignored the officer's commands that she was under arrest 'and accelerated toward the officer, again hitting the officer a second time, placing him in fear for his life.' Affidavits say she then left the area. Williams, who was being held on a $1,000 cash-only bond in Scott County Jail, is scheduled for a preliminary hearing at 3 p.m. June 10 in Scott County Court.

Davenport man faces 23 charges of child pornography
A 20-year-old Davenport man faces child-pornography charges after he was arrested on a warrant, according to Scott County Court arrest affidavits and Scott County Jail records. Tyler Rupe faces 23 felony charges of purchase/possess depiction of a minor in a sex act – first offense, according to Scott County arrest affidavits and Scott County Jail records. On Sept. 28, 2023, arrest affidavits say Davenport Police detectives were assigned a CyberTip investigation from the Iowa Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, which is centered on identifying and prosecuting people who engage in the sexual exploitation of minors through the use of the Internet. Scott County Court arrest affidavits say that three separate reports (two from Microsoft and one from Kik, which is a messaging app that allows users to send messages, photos, videos, GIFs, and even sketches, and supports group chats,) had been made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) ranging in date from July 31, 2021-July 25, 2023, regarding child pornography. 'These reports were found to be linked by a shared IP address,' affidavits show. 'Several search warrants were executed on various ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and social media companies as a part of this investigation,' according to arrest affidavits. Rupe's Dropbox account was seized by law enforcement on or about Oct. 16, 2023, say affidavits, which show 'The account was found to contain 34 videos depicting prepubescent and/or pubescent minor females and/or males in various states of full or partial nudity,' Rupe's cell phone was seized on Jan. 8, 2024, in Davenport, and was found to contain about 190 images depicting prepubescent and/or pubescent children in various states of full or partial nudity, according to affidavits, which say 'Several of these images depict children as young as approximately 4-7 years old. Five of the images were identified by Project Vic as previously identified CSAM (Child Sex Abuse Material).' The phone was found to contain about 75 videos depicting pre-pubescent and/or pubescent children in various states of full or partial nudity, show affidavits, which say 'Several of these videos depict children as young as approximately 4-7 years old. Five of the videos depict minor children engaged in sex acts with animals (bestiality).' After he was read his Miranda Rights, Rupe admitted 'to requesting, receiving and sending child pornography with other users online,' arrest affidavits show, and he 'admitted to having previously viewed child pornography involving a child under the age of 5 years old.' Rupe was being held on a $75,000 bond Saturday in Scott County Jail. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
