LOGAN — A 27-year-old Logan man has been sentenced to more than eight months in jail and three years of probation after what a deputy called a “bizarre series of events” involving violating protective orders. Trevor Bret Aslett has been in the Cache County Jail after being arrested February 24.

Aslett was sentenced May 19 in Logan’s 1st District Court. He previously accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to stalking and possession of a firearm by a restricted person, both third-degree felonies; possession of a controlled substance and violating a protective order, both class A misdemeanors.

According to prosecutors, the Cache County Sheriff’s Office became involved in Aslett’s case, which spanned from at least December 2024 to February 2025.

Aslett was originally arrested for sending threatening messages to the victim and some family members. He was upset because he did not know where the victim and her child were.

On this occasion, deputies found him down the street from the victim’s mother’s house, who is also listed as a protected party in the protective order.

Despite having been arrested twice, Aslett continued to communicate with and harass the victim and her family.

In December, the victim went on a vacation to Mexico with her family. At the same time, Aslett went to California to try to catch a flight to Mexico. He ended up wandering around California until most of his belongings including his vehicle were stolen, and for a few days he was homeless until his family found him and brought him back to Utah, immediately committing him to a behavioral health unit.

During Monday’s sentencing hearing, Aslett apologized to the community and the court, claiming he wasn’t in his right mind at the time the crimes were committed. He said his arrogance and pride gotten the best of him.

Cache County Deputy Attorney Ronnie Keller said Aslett needed to feel the consequences of his actions. He also asked the court to sign a protective order, saying the victim shouldn’t have to live in fear.

Judge Spencer Walsh said Aslett’s actions were troubling even though he had been suffering from some significant mental health challenges. He sentenced him to 244 days in jail, with credit for 85 days previously served, followed by 36 months of probation.

Judge Walsh also ordered Aslett to have no contact with the victim. He told the Logan man, “I hope you can move on from this.”
