LOGAN — A 27-year-old Logan man has confessed to trying to strangle a woman during a domestic dispute last fall. Albert Tunney waived his rights and accepted a plea deal, agreeing not to commit anymore crimes in exchange for not serving anymore jail time.
According to court records, Tunney appeared March 31 in Logan’s 1st District Court. As part of the plea resolution, he pleaded guilty to aggravated assault producing loss of consciousness, a second-degree felony. Four remaining charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they could be refiled in the future.
According to prosecutors, Logan City Police officers were called to a domestic dispute Oct. 12.
The victim said Tunney had strangled her, resulting in a temporary loss of consciousness. She also described how he had cut her with a large knife.
Police reported the woman had injuries consistent with the charges.
During the latest court appearance, Tunney waived his rights to a preliminary hearing and a fair trial. Instead of a jail sentence, his plea is being held in abeyance, under the conditions that he avoids committing any further crimes. A review hearing has been scheduled for March 29, 2027.
