Man Mistakenly Released From Burke County Jail Turns Himself In

July 29, 2023 By Richard C. Gilbert

Dennis James Danner

A man who was mistakenly released from the Burke County Jail earlier this week turned himself in early Friday morning.

Dennis James Danner, 42, was mistakenly released from the Burke County Jail around 3:30 p.m. Monday, according to Sheriff Banks Hinceman.

Jail staff realized the mistake Tuesday morning.

Danner was released from the jail after another inmate with a similar name was supposed to be released following a Monday court appearance. Jail staff released Danner instead of the correct inmate.

Danner will not face any charges related to leaving the jail.

Danner had been in custody under a $2,500 secured bond for two counts of probation violation and three counts of communicating threats.

Now, Danner is free again after posting bond Friday morning.
