Investigation leads to stalking arrest in North Salem

On June 1, 2026, New York State Police in Somers arrested Michael P. Danko, 46, of Somers, New York, following an investigation into an incident involving a female pedestrian in the Town of North Salem.

The investigation began after a witness contacted 911 regarding an encounter on Mills Road. The victim, a 74-year-old female, reported the incident was part of unwanted contact that had occurred over several months. She reported that Danko repeatedly approached her while she was walking and made inappropriate comments that caused her to fear for her safety.

Following the investigation and consultation with the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office, Danko was charged with:

Stalking in the Fourth Degree, a class B misdemeanor

Harassment in the First Degree, a class B misdemeanor

Danko was arraigned in the Town of North Salem Justice Court, where a full stay-away Order of Protection was issued on behalf of the victim.
