A Brandon Township man was sentenced Aug. 27 to one to 20 years in prison for slicing his ex-girlfriend’s neck in April at a local establishment.
Robert Logan, 38, will receive credit for 122 days served and as part of his sentencing must also receive mental health treatment.
He pleaded no contest Aug. 13 to charges of assault with intent to commit great bodily harm less than murder and felony habitual offender’third offense, in front of Sixth Judicial Circuit Court Judge John J. McDonald.
According to police reports, the victim was at an area establishment the night of April 27 when Logan walked behind her, 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.
