Malone man charged with stalking, harassment, criminal contempt in Potsdam

Posted

POTSDAM — A 22-year-old Malone man faces multiple charges following several investigations into domestic violence-related incidents involving the same parties, according to Potsdam police.

Richard M. Harding was charged Oct. 14 with two counts of second-degree criminal contempt, two counts of second-degree aggravated harassment, two counts of fourth-degree stalking and one count of first-degree harassment.

Police said the charges stem from multiple separate investigations involving domestic violence-related incidents, rather than a single occurrence.

New orders of protection have been issued, police said.

Harding was released on his own recognizance and returned to the Franklin County Correctional Facility, officers said.
