The robbery charge is a second-degree felony, and breaking and entering and possession charges are both fifth-degree felonies.
Bricker was arrested by Yellow Springs police on Tuesday, following a month-long string of robberies in the village’s business district.
Around 6 a.m. Monday morning, CCTV video shared with the Dayton Daily News allegedly shows Bricker breaking out the window of Heaven on Earth Emporium in Yellow Springs. Glen’s Garden Gifts was also broken into early that same morning.
The robberies began overnight on June 14, the weekend of the Yellow Springs Street Fair, the Dayton Daily News previously reported. Bentino’s Pizza, Wander & Wonder, Tibet Bazaar and Village Herb Shoppe were all broken into that same weekend.
“These charges are related only to the breaking and entering incidents on July 15, 2025,” the Yellow Springs Police Department said in a statement. “Our department will be submitting a request for charges related to the previous incidents in the coming days/weeks. Until someone is charged in those prior incidents we cannot identify a suspect.”
Bricker’s bond has been set at $200,000.
