Local police chief who was arrested due in court on Monday

A local police chief, who is now on paid administrative leave after his arrest, is due in court on Monday

NewsChannel 13 was first to report that Robert Danko was arrested and charged with false imprisonment and harassment last Wednesday.

He was arrested one week after being promoted to chief at the Cambridge-Greenwich Police Department.

The alleged victim in this case is a woman who Chief Danko is familiar with.

She spoke with NewsChannel 13 and she does not want to be identified.

She tells us there was an incident between the two of them last month.

We have filed a records request with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office asking for a copy of that report.

We are also requesting a copy of a separate statement this woman made to deputies on Wednesday.

That is the same day Danko was arrested and charged.

Once we hear back from the Sheriff’s Office on those requests, we will let you know.

Meanwhile, Danko is due in court Monday night at 5 p.m.
