Joseph H. Impiccini Jr., 27, of 75 Low Hill Road, Centerville, was a corporal on Centerville's police force. He was sentenced in Fayette County court in October to 23 months' intermediate punishment with 180 days of house arrest and electronic monitoring. Impiccini was convicted of buying heroin from a house in the Menallen Township community of Keisterville. His parole officer filed a court motion alleging that marijuana was found in a vehicle Impiccini was driving on Nov. 2. That day, Impiccini allegedly told parole officials that he would test positive for marijuana and opiate use. The motion states that lab results are pending. A hearing on the alleged house arrest violations is set for next week. Impiccini resigned from the Centerville police after his arrest in September 2003. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin
