CLEVELAND — Restaurant entrepreneur Bobby George is expected to plead guilty to attempted strangulation during a hearing in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas at 2 p.m. Monday.

More than a year after George was arrested on a warrant on a slew of charges that included attempted murder and rape, his case is moving forward solely on the attempted strangulation count.

According to special prosecutor Jane Hanlin, George waived his right to have the case presented to a grand jury. He agreed last Friday to plead guilty to attempted strangulation of someone he was in a dating relationship with.
Judge Sherrie Miday continued his bond at $200,000 and ordered him to have no contact with the alleged victim during his arraignment hearing Thursday morning.
George owns TownHall on West 25th Street and Barley House on West 6th Street in Cleveland, among other restaurants and businesses.
When asked how his criminal case is affecting those businesses, he said, "This case doesn't affect my business at all. Doesn't affect me or my business at all."
