LOGAN — A 32-year-old North Logan man remains behind bars as he faces 59 domestic violence charges. Cody James Anderson was originally booked into the Cache County Jail in December, following an investigation by the North Park Police Department.
According to an arrest warrant, police officers received information from the Department of Child and Family Services in November 2024. An anonymous source provided documentation, allegedly showing a history of domestic violence.
The evidence included screenshots of text messages from the alleged victim, describing how Anderson had thrown her on the ground, chocked her, held a loaded pistol to her head, and grabbed her by the hair and dragged her into a bathroom to beat her. The woman’s texts asked for help, saying she was afraid of being killed.
The anonymous source told police that they were on the phone with the alleged victim during one incident. They described hearing her being physically thrown about and Anderson threatening to pull the trigger if law enforcement was called, according to court paperwork.
The alleged victim was reportedly taken to the hospital, complaining about her head, back, and insides hurting. She was diagnosed with spine and neck injuries, as well as bruising to her internal organs.
Police report Anderson has a history of domestic violence convictions. He has also faced assault and threat with weapons offenses, among other charges, the warrant affidavit stated.
Anderson appeared Monday, April 29 in Logan’s 1st District Court. He has been charged with aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, possession of a dangerous weapon, stalking, domestic violence in the presence of a child, tampering with a witness, and violating a no contact order, all third-degree felonies.
Defense attorney Benjamin Gabbert requested the case be set for trial. He also asked the court to allow his client to be able to make and receive phone calls in jail, saying that prohibiting contact is cruel and unusual punishment.
Judge Spencer Walsh explained how there had been numerous incidents where the suspect reportedly called the alleged victim, getting her to try and destroy some of the evidence in the case, sometimes several times a day. He continued to prohibit Anderson from using the phones in jail but said he would allow visits from family members, attorneys and clergy.
