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.
Court records show Treveon Slater entered guilty pleas to charges of eluding speed over 25 mph over the limit and operating a motor vehicle without the owner's consent in early February 2025. 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.
