A Columbiana man already facing trial for attempted murder now faces new felony charges following a secret indictment by the Columbiana County Grand Jury.

The new charges against 66-year-old Frederick Harroff include one count of stalking and one count of attempting to intimidate a witness or victim.

The stalking charge covers a period from Sept. 3, 2025, through Dec. 4, 2025. Court records show Harroff is accused of a pattern of behavior that caused another person to fear physical harm or mental distress. The indictment notes that Harroff had been previously identified as a risk to the safety of others.

In December, Harroff also allegedly tried to use force or threats to hinder a victim from pursuing criminal charges.

The new charges come while Harroff remains in custody for an earlier case. In August 2025, he was indicted for attempted murder, arson, and kidnapping. Those charges stem from a June 2, 2025, incident where he allegedly attacked a family member with a baseball bat and set fire to a home.

In a separate court hearing on Jan. 8, Judge Scott Washam ruled that Harroff is mentally fit to stand trial for the original charges. A mental health evaluation showed that Harroff understands the legal process and can help his lawyer with his defense.

While a doctor found that Harroff showed symptoms of a mental disease, the court noted that his use of alcohol or drugs at the time of the June incident affected his ability to know his actions were wrong.

Harroff has been in the Columbiana County Jail since his arrest on November 6.

A judge set bond for the new charges at $100,000 cash or surety. As a condition of the bond, Harroff is ordered to have no contact with any victims or witnesses involved in the state's case.

Harroff is scheduled to be arraigned on the new charges on Jan. 29. A jury trial for the original attempted murder case is still set to begin on Feb. 2.
