Patterson St., Lansford, standing on the porch with resident Chrystal Milner. Milner was crying and visibly upset telling officers Bynon had grabbed her by the throat, twice, because he was upset that she had gone out.

He was transported to the prison, Pottsville, where he was video arraigned. Bail was set at $15,000.Bynon was unable to post the required 10 percent and was lodged in the prison.
