Arreste Made in Ohio Murder Case

Lawyer Blogs

A Canton woman was arrested Sunday on an obstruction of justice charge in the case of a nine-months pregnant woman whose body was found in a park, The FBI said.

Agents and Stark County sheriff's deputies arrested Myisha Ferrell, described as a former classmate of the man being held for arraignment on murder charges, after breaking down the door of her apartment and searching it Saturday night, FBI agent Scott Wilson said.

The sheriff's department refused to discuss anything about the arrest, saying any information made public would hurt their case. Ferrell was to be arraigned on Monday, Wilson said.

Summit County Medical Examiner Lisa Kohler on Sunday identified the body found in Cuyahoga Valley National Park Saturday as that of Davis, with the dead fetus still inside her womb.

Davis' boyfriend, a police officer, was arrested and was to be arraigned on murder charges Monday, authorities said. Investigators have refused to comment on the circumstances surrounding the discovery of Davis' body and the arrest of Bobby Cutts, Jr., of North Canton.

Stark County sheriff's deputies with a search warrant on Saturday night used a battering ram break down the door of the apartment of a high school classmate of Cutts. Justin Lindstrom, 27, an upstairs neighbor of Ferrell's, said the officers spent two hours searching before leaving with several brown paper bags filled with items and bottles of bleach from the basement.

Wilson would only say that Ferrell's arrest was connected to the Davis case. He would not describe what the deputies seized or say how she was involved.

Lindstrom said he had not seen the downstairs tenant on Saturday or Sunday and rarely spoke to the woman, except to ask her to turn her music down. He said he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary around the time Davis disappeared. Lindstrom said Ferrell lives with her 11-year-old daughter.

Lindstorm said the two of them never hit it off.

"She's not exactly your ideal neighbor. She and I haven't gotten along since day one," said Lindstrom, who moved into the building in January. He said she had parties every night.

"We're talking carloads at a time - four and five carloads -and until 3 or 4 in the morning," Lindstrom said.

Ferrell worked at a local Denny's restaurant until quitting her job on Friday, Lindstrom said. A manager at Denny's, who declined to give his name, confirmed that Ferrell had worked there but declined to comment further.

Illinois Work Injury Lawyers – Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD.

Accidents in the workplace are often caused by unsafe work conditions arising from ignoring safety rules, overlooking maintenance or other negligence of those in management. While we are one of the largest firms in Illinois dedicated solely to the representation of injured workers, we pride ourselves on the personal, one-on-one approach we deliver to each client.

Work accidents can cause serious injuries and sometimes permanent damage. Some extremely serious work injuries can permanently hinder a person’s ability to get around and continue their daily duties. Factors that affect one’s quality of life such as place of work, relationships with friends and family, and social standing can all be taken away quickly by a work injury. Although, you may not be able to recover all of your losses, you may be entitled to compensation as a result of your work injury. Krol, Bongiorno & Given, LTD. provides informed advocacy in all kinds of workers’ compensation claims, including:

• Injuries to the back and neck, including severe spinal cord injuries
• Serious head injuries
• Heart problems resulting from workplace activities
• Injuries to the knees, elbows, shoulders and other joints
• Injuries caused by repetitive movements

For Illinois Workers’ Compensation claims, you will ALWAYS cheat yourself if you do not hire an experienced attorney. When you hire Krol, Bongiorno & Given, Ltd, you will have someone to guide you through the process, and when it is time to settle, we will add value to your case IN EXCESS of our fee. In the last few years, employers and insurance carriers have sought to advance the argument that when you settle a case without an attorney, your already low settlement should be further reduced by 20% so that you do not get a “windfall.” Representing yourself in Illinois is a lose-lose proposition.
