Captain Joseph Pellicci Worked Tirelessly for his Community - Contributed by Richland County Sheriff's Department
"Sheriff Leon Lott stated the passing of Captain Joseph Pellicci leaves a large void in the Richland County Sheriff's Department family because Joe so positively impacted everyone at the Sheriff's Department and in the Community in so many ways. Sheriff Leon Lott stated that Joe was a man of God who cared for his family at home and the department; he did so much for so many people and will be missed more than words can say."
Joseph was a graduate of Cardinal Newman High School where he was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2011. He graduated from USC where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism.
