After Logan’s arrest, detectives learned that he instructed a woman known to investigators to remove hidden items from a residence in New Port Richey.

Detectives contacted the Pasco Sheriff's Office, and their narcotics detectives obtained a residential search warrant for the home, where they found $32,000, bulk ammunition, firearm magazines and about 1 ounce of cocaine.

"The collaboration between our detectives and our deputies on the street once again demonstrates the power of teamwork here at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office," Sheriff Chad Chronister said. "Together, they successfully caught a known criminal who was swiftly brought to justice despite attempting to continue his life of crime in the new year."
