A preliminary/pretrial hearing was set March 6 for Nikki Koffel, 33, West Fourth Street, East Liverpool, charged with third-degree felony tampering with evidence, two counts of fifth-degree felony assault, fifth-degree felony obstructing official business and three counts of misdemeanor assault. One of the misdemeanor assault charges stemmed from Koffel allegedly assaulting another woman on Feb. 18 at the Harker Cafe in East Liverpool. The other charges all stem from incidents on Feb. 25 when she allegedly assaulted a nurse at East Liverpool City Hospital by biting her and kicking her while being treated for a possible overdose that occurred while she was being transported to jail. Koffel had been at the hospital earlier and taken into custody on a warrant. Once she was returned to the county jail, Koffel allegedly shoved a baggie in her mouth and refused to spit it out. When a correctional officer tried to remove the bag, she allegedly kicked the officer in the chest and bit the officer when the officer attempted to pry her mouth open. The tampering charge stemmed from Koffel attempting to swallow the alleged drugs she had placed in her mouth.
