Bobby George is the owner of several Cleveland eateries and businesses, including Barley House, REBoL, TownHall, LYV The Wellness Space and Green Goat Cafe Bar.

The Detroit Avenue, Lakewood, address listed for George in city court records correlates with the address for TownHall in business filings kept with the Ohio Secretary of State’s office.

The charges were filed on Friday, Aug. 9, and involve incidents alleged to have happened between November 2023 and June 2024, court records show.

.

After the woman hid in a closet and began praying for her life, George is accused of shoving a towel down her throat, the warrant states, which is the basis of the attempted ******* charge.

“You think **** is going to help you?” George said, according to the warrant.

The ***** charge stems from an alleged incident between May and July in which George is accused of throwing the woman to the ground and ********* assaulting her while holding her down.

In a later incident on July 27, George is accused of throwing the woman into a closet while she was attempting to leave, the force of which knocked over belongings inside the closet, the warrant states.

George is also accused of pinning the woman down and holding his hands around her neck on Nov. 14, 2023.

He then picked her up and slammed her head down multiple times, including into a living room table, it shows. The alleged ******* left her with blurred vision and caused her ears to ring and bleed.

His business’ nurse practitioner diagnosed the woman with post-concussion syndrome, the warrant states.

At some point between November 2023 and May 2024, George stopped the woman from fleeing the residence, following her out to her car and holding a **** to the window, demanding she get out, the warrant states. He then escorted her back into the residence with the **** to her stomach.

A temporary protection order is now in place.

The attorney representing Bobby George said the charges should have never been filed. Attorney Kevin Spellacy said his client denies the charges “100 percent.”

“This did not happen,” Spellacy said. “We deny any and all accusations. They charged him without even interviewing him or getting his version of events.”

He said he is hoping to get the charges dismissed.

Spellacy said George will turn himself in and they are working to arrange a time.

Prosecutors have requested George be handed a high bond, filings show.
