Broken Bow Man Who Is Alleged To Have Threatened BBPD Officers Appears In Court

A man who is alleged to have threatened to assault multiple Broken Bow Police Department officers earlier this month made his first appearance in Custer County Court on Monday morning, facing seven different charges related to the incident.

Devoun Logan, 26 of Broken Bow, is facing six charges of alleged terroristic threats (each a Class IIIA felony) and a single charge of alleged obstructing a peace officer (Class I Misdemeanor). Logan requested a court-appointed attorney which was granted by Judge Tami Schendt. Logan’s bond was also reduced from 10% of $50,000 to 10% of $15,000. He will appear back in court for a preliminary hearing on January 3, 2022, at 10 AM.

According to the arrest affidavit, an arrest warrant was issued following an incident on December 6. According to the report, a BBPD officer stopped a vehicle that was being driven by Felix Barrera who had outstanding warrants from California. During the stop, Logan is alleged to have threatened the initial officer multiple times stating he would beat up the officer. Logan is also alleged to have continued to interfere with the officer as he was attempting to place Barrera in his patrol car.

The officer requested additional assistance and when the units arrived, Logan is also alleged to have threatened the responding officers and claimed he would beat them up as well. According to the affidavit, as Logan was walking away he told one of the officers to “make sure you wear your vest at all times.” It is noted in the affidavit, Logan has had other interactions with police officers where Logan had a handgun in his possession with a high-capacity magazine.

Logan was arrested on December 9 by the Custer County Sheriff’s Office.

If found guilty of all charges, Logan could be sentenced up to nineteen years in prison and be fined up to $61,000.

Tanner Bowers, 30 of Arnold, made his first appearance on a single charge of alleged burglary (Class IIA felony). Bowers requested a court-appointed attorney and Judge Tami Schendt ordered Matthew Furrow represent Bowers on the case. During his appearance, a bond review was held and, after arguments, the bond of 10% of $50,000 will remain for Bowers.

He will appear back in court for a preliminary hearing on January 3, 2022, at 2 PM.

According to the arrest affidavit, Bowers was caught on camera breaking into an unoccupied home in Arnold after gaining access through an unsecured window. Bowers had been arrested previously for alleged burglary and was in the Custer County jail when he was questioned by the Sheriff’s Office for the most recent alleged burglary.

If found guilty of the single charge, Bowers could be sentenced up to twenty years in prison.
