“The Point Marion Police Department in Fayette County closed its doors after settling lawsuits against police officers. ‘We had to lay off the officers due to the fact that we do not have police liability insurance,’ said Point Marion Borough Manager Arthur Strimel. Strimel said the insurance carrier dropped the department after paying two settlements against the department’s only two police officers, including Kevin Lukart, who has been in trouble before. Lukart had been fired from the Apollo Police Department after he was charged with exposing himself to a 17-year-old. He was also fired from the Braddock Police Department after a news camera captured Lukart punching a man in handcuffs.”
