LOGAN — A 32-year-old North Logan man has been sentenced to jail and probation for reportedly threatening a woman in 2024. Cody James Anderson was originally booked into the Cache County Jail in December and later charged with 59 felonies, following an investigation by the North Park Police Department.
Anderson was sentenced Monday in Logan’s 1st District Court. He previously pleaded guilty to possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, amended to a second-degree felony; violating a no contact order and obstruction of justice, both third-degree felonies.
According to prosecutors, police officers received information from the Department of Child and Family Services in November 2024. An anonymous source provided documentation, showing a history of domestic violence.
The evidence included screenshots of text messages from the 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.
During Monday’s sentencing, the victim disputed the evidence, saying Anderson was not a criminal or a monster. She claimed law enforcement had targeted her family.
Police report Anderson has a history of domestic violence convictions. He has also faced assault and threat with weapons offenses, among other charges.
Cache County Deputy Attorney Ronnie Keller said prosecutors negated the plea deal due to the victim’s lack of cooperation. He expressed hope that Anderson has learned some valuable lessons and won’t be in court again.
Anderson told the court he felt like his family had been targeted by police. He acknowledged his past but said he plans to improve his life and be a better person.
Judge Spencer Walsh said Anderson was not the victim in this case. He said the North Logan man was a violent and manipulative person.
Anderson was sentenced to 365 days in jail, given credit for 304 days previously served. Upon release, he’ll be on probation for 36 months, while also completing domestic violence and anger management treatment.
