LOGAN — Cache County sheriff’s deputies and Logan police are searching for an armed 41-year-old Logan man wanted on domestic violence charges who evaded a massive tactical manhunt Monday morning near Benson Marina.
Authorities identified the suspect as Benigno Queredo-Centreros. The incident began between 6:30 a.m. and 7 a.m. when officers responded to a report of a domestic dispute within Logan city limits. Queredo-Centreros fled the residence before police arrived.
Later in the morning, sheriff’s deputies and a Utah Highway Patrol trooper spotted the suspect traveling at a high rate of speed near 4200 West in Cache County. Queredo-Centreros subsequently abandoned his vehicle in a field. A deputy and a trooper witnessed the suspect stand up in the field, appearing to be armed with a long rifle. Authorities later confirmed that a 20-gauge shotgun was missing from his home.
The weapon sighting and existing probable cause for the domestic violence charges triggered a large-scale emergency response near Benson Marina. Law enforcement deployed multiple tactical assets to the area, including a Utah Highway Patrol helicopter, drones, and an armored vehicle. Despite the extensive search of the surrounding area, the suspect was not located.
Queredo-Centreros is described as a Hispanic man, 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. He has a mustache and a distinct mohawk hairstyle, and he was last seen wearing no shirt.
Police warned that Queredo-Centreros is considered armed and dangerous. Members of the public are strictly advised not to approach the suspect if he is spotted. Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is urged to contact Cache County Dispatch immediately at 435-753-7555, referencing case number 26L11313.
