Officer Donald Frick Accused of Robbing Private Dancer at Gunpoint


A Reynoldsburg police officer accused of robbing a private dancer at gunpoint was arraigned on felony charges Monday.

Donald Wilson Frick, 26, was arraigned Monday. He was not incarcerated and wasn’t given a bond. He left the courtroom after the arraignment.

Frick was indicted on three felony counts Tuesday, Nov. 17, including one count of aggravated robbery (felony of the first degree), one count of robbery (felony of the second degree) and one count of robbery (felony of the third degree).

All three counts have a firearm specification.

Robin Bruce, 21, said she went to Frick’s home in late October after she was hired to perform some type of private dance.

The dancer said Frick paid her $150 but after he learned the exchange would be just a dance and nothing more intimate, prosecutors said he became violent.

Bruce said she called people who were outside waiting for her in their car and they removed her from the location.

Officials said there are multiple robbery charges because there are different ways to commit a robbery and each method involves a separate count.

Frick is on administrative leave from the Reynoldsburg police department.

He has been a street officer since 2006 and has had two accidents since being on the force. Other than the accidents, his record is clean.
