A Brandon Township man has been found competent and criminally responsible, but mentally ill, in the April stabbing of his ex-girlfriend.
Robert Logan, 38, has waived a preliminary exam, and will be arraigned Aug. 6 in front of Sixth Judicial Circuit Court Judge John J. McDonald on charges of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and felonious assault.
According to police reports, the victim was at an area establishment the night of April 27 when Logan walked behind the victim, grabbed her head, and made a slicing motion across the front of her neck with a knife. She suffered a shallow 3-inch wound to the front of her neck, but didn’t call police because, she later told them, Logan had mental problems. She had allowed Logan to stay at her home for four months in late 2006.
Logan called police at about 2:46 a.m. from the Shell gas station at the corner of M-15 and Glass Road. He was intoxicated and told police he wished he had cut the victim’s head off and still would, if he could.
Logan is being held in the Oakland County Jail on $1 million bond, no 10 percent. Assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder is punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Felonious assault is punishable by up to four years in prison.
