University of Kentucky officials said they will try to finish within 1 or 2 weeks and investigation involving basketball freshman Shawn Kemp, who police say pawned gold chains stolen from a teammate.
The investigation is to determine whether Kemp violated the school’s Code of Student Conduct. Punishments can range anywhere from a reprimand to probation to suspension and dismissal from the school, said Doug Wilson, dean of students.
Sean Sutton, son of basketball coach Eddie Sutton, had two 14-karat gold chains worth $700 stolen from his dorm room in Wildcat Lodge Sept.22.
Kemp allegedly sold two gold chains to a jewelry store Oct. 20 for $180, said Sgt. Dan Gibbons of the Lexington police.
