AKRON, Ohio -- An Akron man crashed a Super Bowl party and later shot the host after being asked to leave, according to police.

Thomas Nevins, 24, is charged with felonious assault. Derek Davis, 41, is also charged with felonious assault in the incident. Neither are in police custody and warrants were issued Sunday for their arrest. Davis is Nevins' father, police said.

The incident happened about 7 p.m. Sunday afternoon at a 43-year-old man's home in the 600 block of Mallison Street.

Nevins and Davis showed up to the man's Super Bowl party uninvited, according to court records.

The man told police that he argued with Davis and Nevins because they refused to leave. The argument escalated and the three men went outside to fight, court records say.

Nevins went to his car, got a gun and shot the man in the stomach, police reports say. Nevins and Davis left together before police arrived.

Akron police found the 43-year-old man in the backyard of a nearby home with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Akron General Medical Center. He is expected to recover from the injury, police said.

Davis is on probation after pleaded guilty in March to third-degree felony marijuana trafficking.

He was caught by federal agents and Akron drug detectives March 13 with a duffle bag filled with four pounds of marijuana. Davis was leaving a drug house on East Avenue where agents suspected large amounts of marijuana was being sold when he was arrested.

Davis was also sentenced to one year in prison for cocaine possession in 1999 and has been convicted twice of failing to pay child support.
