Alleged kidnapping accomplice arrested

By Olivia Goudy ogoudy@heraldstandard.Com 1 min read

A Fayette County woman charged with being an accomplice to a robbery and kidnapping in January was arrested Friday morning.

Misty Dawn Danko, 34, was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Michael M. Metros and is now in prison in lieu of $200,000 bond.

Danko faces 38 charges, including terroristic threats, unlawful restraint and aggravated assault stemming from an incident on Jan. 14. Danko reportedly told police that she was held against her will and coerced into a robbery with Keith Arnold Johnson, 23, of Brownsville, Bernard Lewis Richardson III, 28, of Uniontown and Broderick Dewayne Harris, 28, of Uniontown.

Police alleged the group assaulted Ronald Packroni, his brother, Jonathan Packroni, Jonathan Byers and a small child.

Danko, initially charged in February, waived the charges in March after agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors. When she failed to do so, charges were refiled on Oct. 16.

The preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. on Dec. 16 before Magisterial District Judge Randy Scott Abraham.
