Jun. 4—David A. Plachko

PORT CARBON — A former Cumbola man charged with threatening two women in Blythe Township on April 16 had a charge against him held for court during a preliminary hearing before Magisterial District Judge David A. Plachko.

Parker T. Dando, 22, of 5111 Tyndall Drive, Sanford, North Carolina, formerly of 280 Wood St., Cumbola, was arrested by state police Trooper John Davis of the Frackville station and charged with one misdemeanor count of terroristic threats.

By waiving his right to a hearing, Dando will now have to answer to the charge in Schuylkill County Court where he can plead guilty or enter a not guilty plea and request a trial.

Davis said he was called to Township Highway 751, just north of Bobb Alley, for a report of a man, Dando, trespassing. When Dando was told to leave, he became agitated and threatened to shoot two women, the trooper said. A verbal argument continued, but Dando left the area and was apprehended a short time later, Davis said.
