Fired Lorain officer with prior overstep history
Lorain officer John Kovach Jr was fired in May after detaining his daughter's boyfriend during a traffic stop. He previously faced a one month suspension in 2010 for contacting a person for personal reasons while on duty and lied about the extent of his communications with a teenage male met while investigating a domestic dispute. The city cites gross misconduct while the union argues the firing violated Kovach’s contract. Kovach is appealing the termination with union backing.
