LOGAN — A 33-year-old Logan man, with multiple domestic violence convictions, has been arrested for allegedly violating court orders and harassing a woman, according to law enforcement. Ryshawski Tony Shaw was booked last Saturday into the Cache County Jail.
According to an arrest affidavit, Logan City Police Officers were called to an attempted burglary call Jan. 2. The alleged victim claimed she had left work on her lunch break and drove home, finding Shaw standing in the doorway of her apartment.
The woman explained how she had previously been in a relationship with Shaw, and the couple shared joint custody of their children. However, earlier this year she had obtained a protective order, prohibiting him from her residence.
The alleged victim claimed Shaw had brought back the couple’s kids and then went inside her apartment, leaving several items inside the residence. She also provided several texts the suspect had sent to her.
Police questioned Shaw, who reportedly admitted that he “messed up by going to the apartment and going inside.” He also confessed that “he had been emotional and had sent texts that he shouldn’t have,” according to the probable cause statement.
Officers noted Shaw had multiple convictions for domestic violence in the past 10 years. They noted that it appeared he had shown he is not willing to follow court orders.
Shaw was arraigned during a virtual hearing Jan. 6 in Logan’s 1st District Court. He was charged with burglary of a dwelling, a second-degree felony; and two counts of violating a protective order, a third-degree felony.
Judge Spencer Walsh set Shaw’s bail at $5,000 and ordered him to appear again in court Jan. 13. He also prohibited him from having no contact with the alleged victim.
