The man accused of running down two employees and a patron of a Short North restaurant has turned himself in to Columbus police. Accompanied by his attorney, Michael A. Rose, 43, turned himself in at Columbus police headquarters at 2 p.m. today. Rose made no statement and was taken to the Franklin County jail tonight. Court records show Rose has a lengthy record of traffic and criminal arrests, including drunken-driving convictions in 1994 and 2006. He was due in court Tuesday for a probation violation. Rose also is named in an eight-count indictment from January charging him with identity theft, misuse of a credit card and receiving stolen property. His trial date is June 11 in Franklin County Common Pleas Court. Waiters and bartenders have created the Haiku Help Fund to assist the victims.
