A Near East Side man pointed a gun at a pregnant woman and forced her to a health clinic this morning after she refused to go through with a scheduled abortion, Columbus police say.
Dominic L. Holt-Reid, 27, of 579 Kelton Ave., was arrested and charged with kidnapping and carrying a concealed weapon. Police found him about 9:45 a.m. in a parking lot behind Founder's Women's Health Center, 1243 E. Broad St., said Sgt. Rich Weiner, a Columbus police spokesman.
Holt-Reid and the woman he forced to the clinic have a child together, Weiner said. But they do not appear to share a home address, he said.
The two were in a vehicle this morning after dropping their child off at school, according to a police statement. Holt-Reid became angry after the woman refused to go through with an abortion that had been scheduled for 9 a.m.
Holt-Reid pulled a handgun from a glove compartment, pointed it at her, and forced her to drive to the health clinic, according to police. The woman passed a note to a clinic employee, who called police.
The woman wasn't harmed.

Percentage wise, with crime, they're every bit as bad as Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland.
I live in a suburb of Columbus and our police look very closely at the scum that come out here from the city.
