COLUMBIANA COUNTY GRAND JURY

LISBON — An East Liverpool woman accused of assaulting a corrections officer and throwing a bodily substance at her was served Monday with a secret indictment issued by the Columbiana County Grand Jury.

Nikki Jo Koffel, 34, West Fourth Street, was charged with third-degree felonies of tampering with evidence and harassment with a bodily substance and fifth-degree felonies of possession of a fentanyl-related compound and assault.

The charges all stem from an incident on March 25 when she possessed fentanyl and attempted to harm a female corrections officer. The indictment noted for the harassment with a bodily substance charge that Koffel is an alleged carrier of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, a carrier of the hepatitis virus or infected with tuberculosis.
