Assault lands an Illinois woman in jail

PLYMOUTH — On July 20 at 8:31 p.m., Officers with the Plymouth Police Department were dispatched to 1628 W. Jefferson St. (Family Express) for a hold-up alarm.


Dispatch advised officers that the store clerk called in, saying a woman assaulted a man and then jumped up on the counter.
Officers located the woman who originally gave officers a fake name, and she was later identified as Samantha Danko, 40 years old, of Tinley Park, IL.
It was determined from talking to witnesses that Danko had battered a 16-year-old man who was standing in line behind her, and Danko also grabbed the man by the neck. Danko then jumped up on the counter of the store for an unknown reason.
Danko was arrested for battery, strangulation, false information, disorderly conduct, and obstruction of justice. Danko was taken to Marshall County Jail.

Suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
