A convicted bank robber, Daniel Warren Gaudio, 56, formerly of California, has been indicted on federal escape charges. According to the indictment, Gaudio escaped from the Capital Pavilion Residential Reentry Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on March 9, 2013.
Gaudio was serving a sentence of 110 months for robbing the Sovereign Bank Branch in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania on May 9, 2005. He also transported a Ford pick-up truck stolen in Las Vegas, Nevada and used in the bank robbery, and robbed another bank in Kentucky.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced the indictment. United States Attorney Peter J. Smith stated that Gaudio allegedly escaped from federal custody while serving his sentence for bank robbery and related charges.
The case was investigated by the United States Marshals Service. Prosecution of this matter has been assigned to Assistant United States Attorney George J. Rocktashel, in coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles.
On April 19, 2013, Gaudio was apprehended in Venice, California in connection with new bank robbery charges. A federal criminal complaint was filed in Los Angeles on April 22, 2013, alleging that Gaudio robbed a USBANK branch in Manhattan Beach, California.

The maximum penalty under the federal statute for the escape charge is five years’ imprisonment, a term of supervised release following imprisonment, and a fine. The sentence will be determined by the Judge after considering the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.
