DA drops funeral fracas charges

PITTSBURGH — The Allegheny County district attorney has dropped charges against a 28-year-veteran Pittsburgh police officer and her aunt in a funeral home fracas because they won’t testify against one another.

Forty-nine-year-old Officer Tracy Schweitzer and 62-year-old Suzanne Troy were charged after fighting at a family viewing July 29.

Schweitzer told investigators her dead aunt didn’t want Troy there, so Troy lifted her dress and told Schweitzer to kiss her behind — while both were standing at the casket.

Police say the women blame one another for a subsequent fight in the hallway of the funeral home.
