A Rostraver commissioner has been cited for harassment and disorderly conduct in an October incident.

John Lorenzo is accused of disrupting Rostraver's Halloween event.


State Police say Lorenzo, a Republican, was yelling obscenities, grabbing people by the shoulder and slapped another commissioner in the face during a "trick-or-treat event with... families and children present," according to a report from the Tribune-Review.

Lorenzo was prosecuted last year, accused of creating phony social media accounts and using burner phones to harass opponents and rivals.

Court records show Lorenzo faces multiple charges of Harassment - Physical Contact and Acts to Annoy along with one count of Disorderly Conduct – Engage in Fighting.
