LISBON — A Lisbon man already in jail awaiting trial on another indictment for violating a protection order is now facing even more charges after being served with a new secret indictment.
Joshua Vishak, 47, Y Camp Road, was charged with two counts of violating a protection order, a fifth-degree felony, one count of violating a protection order, a third-degree felony, and single counts of domestic violence and gross sexual imposition, both fourth-degree felonies.
The Columbiana County grand jury issued the indictment last week.
