Police say Muncy area woman helped fugitive avoid capture

Although she was informed in mid-March that her friend Warren Wayman Swank III was wanted on felony charges, Mackenzie Rose Roberts “chose not to notify law enforcement of his whereabouts” while she continued to associate with him and live with him, Muncy police alleged in an affidavit. Roberts, 27, of 709 Musser Lane, Muncy, has now been charged with hindering apprehension, a misdemeanor. In the court document, police said Roberts admitted to officers that “this was not the first time she had assisted Swank, in avoiding apprehension by law enforcement. She said she fled with Swank to New Jersey” while he was a fugitive, police said. Roberts has since waived her preliminary hearing before District Judge Kirsten Gardner and is free on $5,000 bail. While Swank, 28, of the same address remains incarcerated on numerous charges, another woman who is alleged to have helped him avoid capture in March, Breann Burkholder, 25, of 227 S. Second St., Hughesville, waived her preliminary hearing on a Muncy charge of hindering apprehension and is free on bail.
