LOGAN — Law enforcement have arrested two women who allegedly broke into a Logan residence and assaulted one of the occupants. Jaymee Nicole Friedli, 31, and Mandy Richards Guvench, 40, were booked Wednesday into the Cache County Jail.
According to the affidavits of probable cause, Logan City Police officers were called to the Logan home on a suspected domestic dispute early on the morning of June 11. However, upon arrival, they learned two women had come to the victim’s residence and forced their way inside.
The alleged victim claimed the two women covered her mouth and nose, held her hands down and struck her repeatedly in the face. The suspects then dragged her outside to the front yard and continued to hit her.
The alleged victim’s boyfriend reportedly heard the victim scream and ran outside the home, pulling the women off his girlfriend. He identified the suspects as Jaymee Friedli and Mandy Guvench, according to charging documents.
Police report the two suspects were related to the alleged victim, and were seen running from the area. Both were wearing blue shirts.
The alleged victim had facial injuries and was treated by paramedics at the scene, the PC statements detailed.
Officers went to Friedli’s home and found Guvench’s car parked in the driveway.
Police knocked on the door and made contact with Friedli, who was wearing a blue shirt with dirt marks on it. They observed that she had blood on her wrist and legs, along with scrapes on her knees and legs.
Officers reported that Friedli denied any claim of being at the alleged victim’s home but appeared nervous during questioning. She also claimed Guvench was not inside her residence, and had been driven back to her home in Idaho, the arrest affidavits stated.
However, police observed a woman inside the residence that matched Guvench’s description, who was also wearing a blue shirt with blood markings on the front of it. She would not answer any questions.
According to jail records, Friedli and Guvench were booked on suspicion of committing aggravated burglary, a first-degree felony. Friedli was also booked on an additional count of obstruction of justice, a second-degree felony. Both women are being held, pending arraignment of formal charges in Logan’s 1st District Court.
Individuals arrested and charged in complaints are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court.
