On Monday, Southington Police charged Joyce with four counts of sale of a controlled substance (marijuana). The new charges stem from incidents in July, August and September, according to the Judicial Branch.

Police said they would not release further details because the arrest warrants have been sealed by the court.

Joyce remains in custody as a $50,000 bond was set on each of the new charges. Joyce is scheduled to return to Bristol Superior Court on Jan. 21 on all of the cases, according to the Judicial Branch.
