Citations have been withdrawn against two people who were accused of violating Gov. Tom Wolf’s stay-at-home order last month.

The citations against Kara Lee Lawson, 27, of Bell, and Scott James Renwick, 28, of Loyalhanna, were withdrawn May 1, according to online court records.

It was unclear why the citations were withdrawn. Trooper Luke Hanko declined to comment. Public information officer Trooper Steve Limani said the citation was filed procedurally incorrectly.

The pair had been cited for violating the Disease Control and Prevention Act of 1955. Troopers reported that they got into a fight April 11 while they were drinking at a friend’s Bell Township home, according to court papers.

Harassment citations also were withdrawn.

The stay-at-home order issued March 27 for Westmoreland County is set to expire Thursday night.
