Davenport man charged after 6-month-old taken to hospital with skull fracture and brain bleed
A Davenport man is charged after a 6-month-old chld was found not breathing and later treated for a skull fracture and brain bleed, according to court records and police reports. The incident occurred at a residence in the North Marquette Street in Davenport; officers responded after the chld was discovered unresponsive. The chld was transported to a hospital, where medical staff identified a skull fracture and intracranial bleeding and the infant was intubated.
Police allege the defendant, 22-year-old Bryan R. Wayne, was the infant’s sole caretaker and told officers the chld was not injured when they went to sleep and was discovered not breathing when Wayne awoke at 9 p.m. Those statements and on-scene observations are documented in the cited court paperwork and police narrative. The allegations are set out in charging documents; they remain allegations and have not been proven in court.
Wayne faces a felony charge of chld endangerment causing serious injury and is being held in the Scott County Jail on a reported cash-only bond of $1,000,005. Court records show a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 9. No convictions, plea agreements, or trial outcomes are included in the public records cited.
Investigators and prosecutors are handling the criminal case; the information released publicly to date consists of police statements, initial medical findings, the charge filed, detention status, and the scheduled preliminary hearing. No further medical status updates, motivations, or additional investigative findings were provided in the available records.
All individuals accused of a crime are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
