A Youngsville man has been jailed on $50,000 bail after a domestic incident Tuesday morning.

Kurt L. Dansk, 41, of Youngsville, was charged by Youngsville police with resisting arrest and two counts of simple assault, all of which are second-degree misdemeanors, and two counts of harassment. Dansk was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Todd Woodin on Tuesday with monetary bail set at $50,000. A preliminary hearing will be held in Woodin’s court on May 7.

According to the Affidavit of Probable Cause, Youngsville police officers responded to a report of a physical domestic disturbance in Youngsville. Officers could hear yelling coming from inside the home, but it stopped when officers knocked on the back door of the home.

“I knocked on the back door, which is the commonly used door to the residence, where I got no answer, but the yelling from inside the house grew silent,” the affidavit states. “I knocked again and got no answer. Just prior to deciding to force entry into the residence … the daughter of the two subjects appeared to my right. She had exited out of the front of the residence. Nearly at the same time, Kurt Dansk appeared from the other side. I already had my department-issued service weapon drawn and I pointed it toward him. Dansk immediately decided to try and film with his phone. I holstered my weapon and attempted to grab his arm to detain him.”

The affidavit states Dansk allegedly resisted arrest by pulling away from the first officer on the scene, who was only able to place one handcuff on Dansk’s wrist. The officer called for assistance, which resulted in Youngsville Police Chief Todd Mineweaser responding to the scene before Dansk was eventually arrested.

Police report a youth was injured during the domestic incident after being hit as well as allegedly having coffee thrown at her, being shoved and being spit on.

The Affidavit of Probable Cause states Dansk had been arrested recently and had posted bail for a separate resisting arrest case in Warren County. That incident, according to online criminal docket information, took place Aug. 30 with charges filed by the State Police at Warren on Nov. 21. Dansk was charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, use/possession of drug paraphernalia, marijuana – small amount personal use and vehicle and traffic infractions after a traffic stop in Brokenstraw Township. That case is being heard in Judge Gregory Hammond’s court and, as of Wednesday, was awaiting action in plea court on May 8. Bail was set at $10,000 and posted.

According to docket information available online, Dansk had also been charged April 10 with disorderly conduct after an alleged incident in January. Formal arraignment on the charge took place April 24 in front of Judge Gregory Hammond in the Court of Common Pleas. Bail had been set at $10,000 unsecured and posted.
