Radio Personality Fired After Drunken Driving Arrest

Zumock, a Lakewood resident, was driving east on Lake Avenue when his Chevy Cruze veered into the westbound lane before striking a tree in the 13000 block of Lake Avenue, according to the Lakewood police report.

The 37-year-old co-host of the Alan Cox Show on WMMS, who lives just a couple blocks away from the accident scene, was not injured in the crash and refused to take a breathalyzer test. 

According to the police report, he was traveling 20 mph in a posted 35 mph zone.

Zumock was charged with operating a vehicle under the influence, failure to control and a seatbelt violation. 

According to WEWS, Zumock’s bond was set at 10 percent of $3,000, and he was released.

Zumock had performed just hours before the crash at the Funny Stop in Cuyahoga Falls. He's scheduled to appear at the local comedy club on Saturday night.

blame the media, how silly, google the information stop being so lazy
dean alexander June 18, 2013 at 09:46 pm
Just amazes me that people can't take responsibility, blame everyone else because they are too lazyRead More to be aware of what is going on, if you are that concerned about flag day, then you would think you would know when it is or just google it, all the information is available, it is so sad how our country has the blame everyone else attitude, wake up and take personal responsibility

Nolan,Why should a person even have to check a calendar to see when a holiday is. The media blastsRead More relentlessly on everything else that doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Yet when it comes to flying the flag the are MUM. That is what I am talking about. Like Dean said. Maybe peoplw don't display flags because they didn't know. Dean, what's the media for, if not getting the word out? Are they there to just sit on their butts and let people wonder what they really do? Talk about being responsible, I think the media should be responsible for getting the word out. They need to do something for their pay.

Like I said take personal responsibility and stop being a puppet

Thank you Gail! This is just one of many, many stories. Convicted felons are routinely recruited toRead More 12 step cults. They have to go there, healthy people do not stay in this dangerous cult for long! ; ) http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-cult_a0.html

The health department really needs to check the place, filthy, selling reheated food, which isRead More illegal, plaster falling from ceiling over food prep table, the list goes on and on

The mental health department should check this place out too! That holds true for any 12 step cultRead More group!

What's your point, DICK? You are posting a sarcastic question and clearly don't understand projectsRead More like PC and how cities work with builders. C'mon DICK, write a legitimate question and quit belly aching DICK.

Christine - you somehow missed the detail that the property has been sold to Stark? The ball is inRead More his court now.

We were very fortunate to have the Humane Society take them. They should be available for adoptionRead More soon. I am just deeply saddened that people can do something like this with no concern for the dogs' welfare and to thrust that responsibility onto others who can't stand by and do nothing.
Janet Wahl June 3, 2013 at 07:33 am
Those kind of people would leave their human kids as well.
Christine June 3, 2013 at 11:27 am
I agree, this is inconsiderate and unkind. I would wish that people would not treat their animalsRead More so, but that remains a wish. However, I am thankful that something worse did not happen. At least at the park, someone was there who was kindhearted enough to take action. I shudder to think of the "other" possibilities.

Congrats John. I know what you are feeling. I know when my daughter was born way back in 1975 @Read More Cuyahoga Falls General. I wanted to go out to the intersection of Broad and State Rd and shout at the top of my lungs, "I have a baby daughter" That was the greatest enjoyment and biggest trill ever!! I was a big part of the delivery. I was in the room the whole time and would not have it ant other way. Way to go John and Jaklyn!!
