(A) Any police officer may impound any vehicle illegally parked in any place where the vehicle creates or constitutes a traffic hazard, blocks the use of any fire hydrant, or obstructs or may obstruct the movement of any emergency vehicle. An illegally parked vehicle may be similarly impounded where a citation for the illegal parking has been attached to the vehicle, and the vehicle has not been moved within six (6) hours after issuance of the citation.
(B) Vehicles so impounded shall be removed and towed away by any commercial towing service. The vehicles shall be stored in a safe place and shall be restored to the owner or operator upon payment of the amount of the fine for the illegal parking, plus such reasonable towing and storage charges which may be charged.
