A 35-year-old Davenport man is behind bars after police say he led police on a bi-state pursuit, threw a gun in the grass, and tried to punch an officer. About 8:45 p.m. Sunday, Davenport Police responded to the intersection of Garfield and Main Streets to assist Rock Island Police in a vehicle pursuit from Rock Island into Davenport, affidavits say. Officers saw Neeley, who ignored orders to stop, throw a gun into the grass, affidavits say. “This is a common method for packaging controlled substances,” affidavits say. He is set to appear for a preliminary hearing Oct. 20 in Scott County Court.
