 Former
NBA Star Shawn Kemp Played Role in Bobby Cutts Past
In a bizarre twist,
former NBA star Shawn Kemp has come up while
reviewing the past of Canton Police Officer Bobby
Cutts Jr. Cutts Jr. has been charged with two
counts of murder of Jessie Davis, the mother of his
two-year old son and presumed mother of his unborn
child.
The Stark County
Sheriff's Department, which is leading the
investigation, said in an affidavit filed Sunday
that Cutts is accused of killing Davis and the fetus
June 14 at Davis' home in nearby Lake Township. The
document does not say how she was killed.
Davis, 26, of Lake Township near Canton, was
reported missing after her mother found her grandson
home alone, with bedroom furniture toppled and
bleach spilled on the floor. The boy, Blake, gave
investigators some of their first clues, saying:
``Mommy was crying. Mommy broke the table. Mommy's
in rug.''
Shawn Kemp, formerly
of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Seattle Seahawks, had
been seeing the mother of Bobby Cutts Jr.'s 9
year-old daughter.
Cutts Jr. lived with
Nikki Giavasis for a while but when she began seeing
another man in 1998, Cutts was accused of breaking
into her home while she was inside with Shawn Kemp.
Cutts pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct
charge and was sentenced to three years' probation.
Giavasis told police she feared for her safety. The
pair are involved in a custody dispute.
