Steven Tyrone Mallory

Deadly force

The incident began when the Davenport officer stopped the suspect in the middle of the bridge to question him regarding an assault 15 minutes earlier at the Cafe on Vine coffee shop. Anderson told Mallory to get down on his knees several times, orders that Mallory did not heed. The officer deployed his Taser, which appeared to have no effect. Mallory then attacked Anderson, punching the officer, biting the officer's face and slamming the officer's head against the concrete, officials said. The suspect was on top of the officer and choking him when East Moline Police Det. Jim Weakley arrived on the scene and shot the suspect, Donchez said.
