No jail time for Cleveland entrepreneur after guilty plea

CLEVELAND (Scripps News Cleveland) — Prominent Cleveland restaurant owner Bobby George was sentenced to five years of probation after pleading guilty to attempted strangulation on Monday.

George will not serve jail time unless he breaks the conditions of his probation, and he is not to have contact with the victim or the victim’s family for five years, ruled Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Joy Kennedy.

George was indicted by information, which means he was charged directly by prosecutors after waiving his right to a grand jury.
