CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The owner of TownHall and other major Cleveland businesses faces multiple charges, including attempted murder and rape, according to the arrest warrant.

Court records show Robert George, 43, is charged with attempted murder, four counts of kidnapping, two counts of strangulation, felonious assault, and rape.

The arrest warrant for George, who also goes by Bobby, was issued Friday evening, but records show he is not currently in custody.

According to the arrest warrant, a woman told Cleveland Police the alleged physical and verbal abuse happened between November 2023 and July 2024.

George allegedly caused multiple injuries to the victim.

On November 14, 2023, the arrest warrant said George pinned the victim to the ground and put his hands around her neck, which “made her unable to breathe or move.”

During the strangulation, the arrest warrant said George slammed the victim’s head multiple times. The victim reportedly had “blurred vision, ringing in her ears and bleeding from her ears.”

According to the arrest warrant, the victim was then treated by his business’ nurse practitioner and the victim was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome.

19 News reached out to the nurse practitioner for a comment but did not hear back.

In another incident, the arrest warrant said George followed the victim to her car, held a gun to the car window and forced her to get out of the car.

The warrant said George then held a gun to the victim’s stomach and led her back inside the home she had just run from.

Between the dates of June 8 and June 10 of this year, the arrest warrant said George pushed a towel down the victim’s throat.

After this, George allegedly said, “You think God is going to help you,” according to the warrant.

The warrant stated George said this after the woman prayed she would not die.

During this incident, the arrest warrant said George placed “one or both hands around her neck” and attempted to strangle and suffocate her.

The arrest warrant also said George threw her around the home they shared.

The warrant said George refused to let the victim leave the home during this altercation.

The victim tried to hide in the closet of the home during this incident, according to the warrant.

The warrant claims George also raped the victim as she was coming out of the shower in one instance.

In another alleged attack, the warrant said George is accused of throwing the victim into a closet as she tried to leave.

George is involved with several local businesses in the Cleveland and Columbus area, including the following:

• Ethos Hospitality Group
• Bobby George Restaurants
• REBoL
• TownHall
• Harry Buffalo
• Green Goat Cafe Bar
• Lost Social Club
• Barley House
• Lyv wellness space
• Red space events
• Mandrake – Columbus

ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins made a bold statement Monday on First Take.

He thinks the Olympics trio of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Steph Curry are better than Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird from the 1992 Dream Team.

Before making his point, he started off with showering praise to the old heads.

“I’m gonna put a lot respect to the old heads when you talk about Larry, Magic, and Jordan,” he said. “I mean you think about. Bird and Magic they saved the game of basketball. Jordan was Disneyworld to to the game of basketball. I still got J’s on my feet. My closet is filled with Js. Great.”

Then he went in beginning with Curry.

“When it comes to Steph, KD, and Bron, it’s just different” Perkins said. “It’s just different. What they done for the game of basketball. We talk about Steph Curry, right, has changed the game forever. Has completely changed the point guard position. He has given hope to all the undersized athletes in a basketball world that they could make just solely based on how he’s able to move without the ball, his skill, and most importantly his shooting. The greatest shooter of all time.”

Perkins says Durant is the greatest scorer.

“Then you go over to Kevin Durant,” he said. “Kevin Durant in my eyes is the greatest scorer to ever touch the damn basketball. When you talk about being 7 foot, 7’1, I know he says his 6’9 but I beg to differ and when it comes down to him putting the ball in the bucket, we’ve never seen nothing like this in life. Again he has changed the game of basketball. That’s why we’re seeing guys like Victor Wembanyama at 7’4, 7’5 that’s able to step out on the wing and give you two dribble pull ups, has the in and outs, and things of that nature. It’s because of KD. He’s efficient. He gets it done. Multiple scoring titles. Two time finals MVP. One time MVP.”

Last but not least, LeBron James.

“What can we say? He’s going to be eligible for his pension in about five years and he’s still going strong,” Perkins said. “Still one of the best players in the game. The most important player to basketball and his resume speaks for itself. “

People in this Cleveland, Ohio neighborhood are angry after an ambulance was dispatched to an Ohio woman’s home.

People have complained for many years that the wait to get medical attention after calling 9-1-1 in Cleveland is dangerously long.  Somehow, a 71-year-old woman got an ambulance in just 3 minutes when she called the emergency number asking for help charging her smartphone according to Fox 8,

She told dispatchers she has no power, and she needed to go to the hospital to charge her phone. She also mentioned police refused to take her.

The report from Fox 8 points out that EMS is short-staffed likely leaving actual medical emergencies with long waiting times while Cleveland EMS stayed with this Ohio woman for nearly an hour.

The elderly woman did tell the 9-1-1 dispatcher that she was in pain during the end of her call which triggered an ambulance.  You can imagine a confused elderly person calling 9-1-1 while experiencing a much more serious emergency than they can communicate.  However, many people are questioning how she got medics to respond that quickly and stay for so long.  The elderly woman was not taken to the hospital by the medics but Cleveland EMS did confirm she had no power and was very upset.
