BREAKING: Wells Decision “Purely Financial”
Chris Wells’ decision to skip his senior season and enter the NFL Draft is “purely financial,” Gossip Cbus has learned. This revelation comes despite NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s assurance that rookie salary structure will remain unchanged until 2011.
“He needs to get paid, he needs to get paid now, the boy has family and things outside OSU to think about,” said a source close to Wells’ family. “This is purely financial and anyone who throws up any static should shut up. He was already hurt this year. At least next year, he could be hurt with millions.”
Since our report of the junior’s intentions, Wells has slipped from a consensus top five selection to twelfth (in an average of six NFL Mock Drafts). Experts say his stock will continue to fluctuate based upon NFL free agency, individual workouts, and other underclassman who declare.
In three seasons, Wells has 569 carries, 3,276 yards, and 30 touchdowns. This season, despite injuries (three games missed), he has 191 carries, 1,091 yards, and 8 touchdowns. He closed his junior season with four one hundred yard efforts in five contests (three consecutive).

New Year’s Reality: Police Are Limited
While Columbus Police will deploy additional officers, New Year’s Eve revelers will not face random checkpoints and officers will be concentrated into specific areas. According to Columbus Police Pubic Relations, the objective is “to stop the fight before it happens.”
Drivers who are stopped will not be able to refuse a breathalyzer test. In the event of a refusal, warrants for a blood test will be sought.

BREAKING: Serial Rapist Retired
For all the griping I’ve done lately (and it’s been legit), Columbus police deserve credit for this one… They never gave up… They kept working and now a dangerous piece of trash is off our streets…
A man suspected of raping at least seven women is in police custody… The man, whose name is not being reported by 10TV News, is a registered sex offender and has been in jail since Dec. 13 when officers said he robbed a Westerville tanning salon…
"We have a potential suspect," said Columbus police Sgt. Rich Weiner. "We have evidence in some of these crimes so we're just waiting on forensics to come back."
A stolen cell phone gave police their lead… According to court records, the rapist stole the cell phone of one of the victims and then sent "sexually explicit texts" to the list of contacts. When the victim called her phone, the man who answered it told her that he "could have raped her while she was sleeping."
Then, the man agreed to leave the phone at a bus stop located near downtown's North Market, court records showed. One of the numbers called came back to an address on Delbert Road, located on the northeast side. According to court records, the call came in close proximity to where a previous rape victim's cell phone that was also stolen "pinged off a tower" nearby "soon after the rape."
According to court records, undercover police officers started tracking the suspect's movements from Nov. 26 through the tanning salon robbery. The clerk told 10TV News that the man who robbed her at gunpoint forced her to a back room before fleeing out the back door. Police took him into custody moments later, Kocot reported.
Investigators believe the same man has raped or sexually assaulted seven women since June 4, with most of the attacks occurring on the city's northwest side. Investigators said that they believed ATM surveillance photos of the rapist would be the key to cracking the case. The images were captured after one of the attacks and showed the rapist using a debit card that he stole from a victim.
The suspected rapist was convicted of two rapes in 1984, Kocot reported. Both cases had similarities to the Northwest Serial Rapist. In one case, the woman told police that the man broke into her home, put a gun to against her head and said he would not shoot her as long as she cooperated. He also lied and said that he had a partner in another room who was holding a gun to her daughter's head.
In the other case, the man broke into a woman's house and threatened her with a knife and threatened to harm her daughter if she did not cooperate. The Northwest Serial Rapist also used a gun and knife in his attacks…

Bunnies Anyone?
As promised, Gossip CBUS and Lodge Bar details… While we cannot announce a date (likely late February), we can definitively announce a theme… The event will be known as “The Bunny Party.” (And please read what we have written, don’t send me a thousand e-mails on what is a bunny or why have we named the party that…)
Three Stations, Three Crimes
While only two of the three make our count (numbers 21 and 22), all three were worth mentioning… The first sounds particularly tragic, a man who may lose his ability to walk because our city is deteriorating… The second, two clerks, working on their normal day, find themselves assaulted… And the third, people are taking safes right off the floor…
WSYX 6: A man may be paralyzed for life after he was shot on the way to a store in Northeast Columbus. It happened on Bancroft Street last night. Police say William Dunbar was walking to the store when he stopped to talk to someone. Police say when Dunbar walked away a bullet hit him in the back. Police are now searching for the gunman.
NBC 4: UA police continued to investigate two robberies that happened within minutes of each other Monday. The first happened on Reed Road, and the second just around the corner on Henderson Road. Both happened between 11:30 a.m. and noon. And police think the same man hit both locations. The first robbery was at the Advance America Bank at 1935 W. Henderson Rd., according to police. The second robbery was at the National Cash Advance at 4740 Reed Rd., police said. Female clerks were violently assaulted during both the robberies. Anyone with information was asked to contact Upper Arlington police at 614-583-5160.
10 TV: At least two safes have been stolen from north side businesses in recent weeks, but police on Monday did not say whether or not the burglaries were connected. About a week ago, a burglar cleaned out cash registers and grabbed a safe from a Short North pizza parlor… Bill McWhorter, who lives in a different part of the city, experienced the same sort of crime. Someone busted into his home while he was away and stole his safe which held thousands of dollars.

BREAKING: Tressel Expects Mass Return
With the exception of Chris Wells, Coach Jim Tressel expects all six underclassman to return for their senior seasons, according to a senior athletic department official. On December 16, Jake Ballard, Jim Cordle, Kurt Coleman, Brian Hartline, Anderson Russell, and Donald Washington turned in forms to gage their potential draft status. Wells did not turn in the forms. However, the official labeled Wells departure “a forgone conclusion.”
“Beanie? Beanie is gone,” he said. “No one is expecting any different. In our mind, that’s a forgone conclusion. The others, Coach fully expects them to play here next year. He would, I think, we’d all be shocked if any of them go now.”
None of the decisions would be a surprise. Wells is the only junior projected as a first round pick and the others would have trouble cracking the first day, according to one NFL talent evaluator we spoke with. Potential leadership roles, not draft position however, is what Tressel has used as a selling point.
“The last think we ever want to do is make a kid feel like he isn’t good enough,” the official said. “But, this team next year, wont be this year’s team. Only nine possible senior starters in the two deep, we need the help. The kids know that. That’s why coach expects them back.”
Currently, Ohio State is in Arizona, preparing to oppose Texas in the Fiesta Bowl (January 5). None of the underclassman, including Wells, is expected to make an announcement prior to the game. Underclassman have until January 15 to declare themselves draft eligible.

You Have Questions... I Have Answers
Since Gossip Cbus began, I’ve been swamped with e-mail (thanks for the love)… While I’ve tried to give individual responses to several, I also know that some of the questions are questions others may have and thus, answering them publicly would be better… Therefore, from time to time, I will answer questions where everyone can see them…

Q: How do I get my bar mentioned on Gossip Cbus?
A: You have two very simple solutions. (1) Tell your favorite bar’s promotions person to send us material (the e-mail address is on the site people!)… If a bar sends us material, we may not run all of it, but I promise we will run something… (2) If you cant get them motivated, send it to us yourself… Dates, times, cover charges, themes… Whatever you feel is relevant, make sure we know about it…
Q: You’ve mentioned events… Tell me more.
A: Since Gossip Cbus is committed to nightlife coverage in Columbus, we want to work with groups and venues on unique promotional events that will pack in people and jointly spread the word about their business and our website.

A: If you are out and having fun, doesn’t matter when or where, tell us about it. We cover a lot of ground, but tips and submissions (which we’ve received dozens of) are always appreciated. Photos, videos, stories… Anything you feel we might like, send it!!!

Death is the Objective
Number twenty is tragic… Not that every crime since we started counting hasn’t been… but this idiot (polite word) didn’t even get money… This just restates the obvious…. Murder may not always happen, but it’s always the intent…
Police said that a store clerk was critically injured after he was shot during a robbery late Saturday afternoon. The robbery occurred at about 5:15 p.m. at the Clintonville Market, located at 4400 Indianola Ave. on the north side, police said. Investigators said that an armed man entered the business and demanded money from the clerk's register before shooting the clerk and leaving the store.
According to police, the robber did not receive any money. The 73-year-old clerk, whose name was not released by police, was transported to Riverside Methodist Hospital in critical condition. The robber is described as black and between 20 and 23 years old. He is between 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs between 160 to 160 pounds. His hair was pulled back in a small ponytail, and has pierced ears. He was wearing a blue-hooded pullover sweatshirt, blue jeans and a blue bandanna, pulled over the lower portion of his face.
He was seen entering a gray, black or silver-colored, late 80s model Ford Escort with a broken out driver's side window with plastic covering it. The vehicle also had a loud muffler. Police said another person might have been driving the vehicle. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Columbus Police Robbery Squad at 614-645-4545 or Crime Stoppers at 614-645-8477.
