U.S. Attorney’s Office October 14, 2010
  • Northern District of Ohio (216) 622-3600

A federal grand jury sitting in Cleveland, Ohio, returned a four-count indictment charging Frank W. Prusky, Jr., age 42, of Bristolville, Ohio, with armed bank robbery, obstruction of commerce by robbery, and attempted carjacking, Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, announced today.

Count 1 of the indictment charges that on or about August 20, 2010, Frank W. Prusky, Jr., attempted to carjack a vehicle from a patron of the Santisi’s IGA Super Center in Girard, Ohio.

Count 2 charges that on or about August 20, 2010, Prusky attempted to take merchandise from a Dollar General in Girard, Ohio, while threatening an employee with a fake firearm.

Count 3 charges that on or about August 22, 2010, Prusky took money and merchandise from a Walgreens in Niles, Ohio, while threatening an employee with a knife.

Count 4 of the indictment charges Prusky with armed bank robbery of the Huntington National Bank, Girard, Ohio, of approximately $1,677, on or about August 24, 2010.

If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including the defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense and the characteristics of the violations. In all cases, the sentences will not exceed the statutory maximum and, in most cases, it will be less than the maximum.

The investigation preceding the indictment was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Youngstown Resident Office. The matter was presented to the grand jury by Assistant United States Attorney Linda H. Barr.

An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
