COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) - Around a dozen protesters gathered outside TownHall's Short North Arts District location Saturday evening following the arrest of a man with ties to the restaurant.
Former Ohio State offensive lineman Michael McCullough, 25, was arrested last Friday for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. He was charged with one felony count of strangulation.
"I am her very close friend and also hairstylist, and I have seen the injuries on her myself and they are atrocious. I would like to think if anybody has women out there that they love and care about, that they'll stick up for this woman and come together as Columbus," protester Megan Riley said.
A flier advertising the protest had been circulating on social media.
The arrest caused quite a stir online surrounding Ethos Ho
