A suspect arrested following an hours-long standoff with law enforcement on Memorial Day weekend is among the defendants indicted recently by a Logan County Grand Jury.
Logan Fischer, 33, of Lakeview, has been indicted on two counts of second-degree felonious assault, retaliation, a third-degree felony and a first-degree misdemeanor count of assault.
Fischer was arrested May 28 following a prolonged standoff with law enforcement at his residence. The ordeal began when deputies from the Logan County Sheriff’s Office attempted to speak with Fischer about his alleged assault of another man during a confrontation at Acheson’s Resort.
Fischer reportedly cut the man with a knife and struck him in the back of the head during the altercation before fleeing to his residence, barricading himself inside once deputies arrived.
Fischer refused to cooperate with law enforcement for more than three hours during an ordeal that drew a response from multiple agencies.
Fischer has an extensive criminal history including a felony burglary charge in 2007, misdemeanor assault in July of 2013, criminal trespass in May of 2022, aggravated menacing in September of 2022, and domestic violence in December of 2022.
He had threatened to shoot law enforcement on multiple occasions, and has also threatened previously to die by “suicide by cop.”
