Lucas than, according to police paperwork, decided the only way to get him to stop was to choke him.

A responding state trooper said he saw redness on the victim’s neck and observed that his eyes were bloodshot.

It’s unclear at this time how or if Lucas and the victim knew each other.

Lucas is currently being held in the Allegheny County Jail pending a hearing.
