With one prison sentence already in his future and his reputation in ruins, a man who is a Mars police officer and a state constable allegedly committed another illegal act.

New charges, including impersonating a public servant, obstructing justice and official oppression, are pending in Allegheny County Court against George Galovich.

Galovich, a one-time sergeant in Mars, this spring was found guilty of stealing money from the evidence lockup of that department.

Last month he pleaded guilty to a count of theft in relation to money he'd collected from defendants as part of his constable duties in Butler County.

In exchange for that plea, investigators agreed to drop similar theft charges stemming from Galovich's constable duties in Wexford, Allegheny County.

But now, Galovich, 49, is accused of flashing his constable's badge to a Robinson Township couple and pretending he was sent by the courts to collect their daughter's belongings.

Court records indicate Mark and Melissa Snodgrass refused to give Galovich any items that belong to their daughter, Sabrina.

Galovich, who had no papers or instructions from the courts, then "tried to be a mediator between the Snodgrasses and their daughter," who had recently moved out of the home, according to an affidavit authored by Chief Dale Vietmeier of the Robinson Township police.

Vietmeier said there appears to be no connection between Galovich and the family prior to this incident.

The chief said Galovich decided to take this action after he was contacted by a friend of a friend of Sabrina Snodgrass, 18.

In addition to having no valid court reasons to visit the Snodgrass family, Galovich does not have a valid constable's license, according to court documents.

Galovich's constable's license was revoked by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, according to court records.

Galovich's term as an elected constable is valid until Dec. 31, 2007. He was first appointed to fill a vacancy in 1999. Then, he was elected to the six-year post in 2001.

However, there are reasons constables may be prohibited from performing duties, such as failing to update needed insurance.

Officials at the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency could not be reached Thursday, and Vietmeier said he does not know why Galovich's license was revoked.

The new case against Galovich was heard on Nov. 1 and held for trial by Allegheny County District Judge Carla Swearinger.

However, the accusations stem from Aug. 24, while Galovich was free on bond from his Butler County cases.

In March, Galovich was convicted by a jury of taking cash that had been confiscated in a May 2003 marijuana bust.

Butler County Judge George Hancher sentenced Galovich to 45 to 90 days in prison.

But after Galovich served two days, the judge freed him on bond pending an appeal, which is still open.

Then last month, Galovich pleaded guilty to a separate case of theft in which prosecutors alleged he'd stolen thousands of dollars he'd collected from more than a dozen defendants on behalf of the district court in Saxonburg.

Galovich's plea acknowledges misdoings in only three of the cases but agrees to pay restitution to them all.

In exchange, the district attorney's office will recommend Galovich receive a punishment of house arrest with electronic monitoring and probation.

He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 22.

If Galovich's sentencing goes through, officials in Mars are poised to officially cut him loose.

Although Galovich has not worked as a Mars police officer since the first allegation surfaced against him in the spring of 2004, he has not been officially fired.

Borough solicitor Douglas Weinrich said council voted unanimously Monday to begin termination proceedings as soon as Galovich is sentenced.

That would not be the first police job Galovich has lost.

In 1995, prior to joining the Mars police force, Galovich was fired from the Baldwin Police Department for allegedly using police computers to get information for his work as a private investigator.

Galovich's private detectives license in Butler County expired and was not renewed between the surfacing of the first allegations in Butler County and today, according to court records.

Galovich, who has consistently denied any wrongdoing in Baldwin, Mars, Saxonburg or Wexford, could not be reached for comment.

The cellular telephone number he used as of Nov. 1 has been disconnected.

Galovich formerly lived in Summit Township, but in the latest case he listed a Pittsburgh address.

Galovich's attorney, Melvin Vatz of Pittsburgh, did not return a telephone message.
