The 10 traps that were set at Credit Island — one of which killed a family dog last week — were set by a Davenport city worker. The seasonal worker for the Parks & Recreation Department has been identified as Darell Kendrick.

The fact he was trapping at Credit Island at the city's instruction was not disclosed until six days after the incident. Trapping is prohibited in city parks.

"At the request of the Davenport Police Department, further details were not released as it was an open investigation," city communications director Jennifer Nahra said Monday.

Davenport Police Capt. Dale Sievert wrote in a news release Monday: "Mr. Kendrick had been asked to do some trapping at the request of the Parks Department and the Forestry Department of the City of Davenport in the past. Because of these statements, internal reviews of policies within the City of Davenport are being reviewed in an effort to make sure that an incident of this nature does not occur again.

"Until the investigation is complete it would be premature to address the outcome involving Mr. Kendrick. All aspects of the trapping, use of traps, and types of traps will be evaluated and coordinated through the City of Davenport departments responsible for this activity."
