FREDERICK MAN TO SERVE 12 YEARS IN THE DIVISION OF CORRECTIONS FOR FIRST-DEGREE ASSAULT
FREDERICK, MD – Today in Frederick County Circuit Court, The Honorable Judge Theresa Adams sentenced 41-year old Logan Hakeem Young to 25 years in the Division of Corrections, suspending all but 12 years, for First-Degree Assault. The Defendant pled guilty to the charge on April 30, 2025. The State asked for and received the top of the sentencing guidelines.
On August 24, 2024, at approximately 11:00 am, Frederick Police responded to 1786 Eagle Rock Lane in Frederick, MD for a report of physical domestic disturbance. The 32 year-old female victim called 911 to report that she had been strangled and punched in her face multiple times earlier that morning by her partner, the Defendant. The victim also reported the Defendant threatened her with a weapon. Police observed physical signs of abuse and strangulation on the victim, who was transported by EMS to Frederick Health Hospital for evaluation and treatment. The Defendant was located and arrested at a local diner at 3:20 pm that same day.
In court, the State read from the Victim Impact Statement, “I ignored warning signs; it cost me my safety.”
State’s Attorney Charlie Smith stated, “Strangulation in domestic violence cases is a deadly form of assault. We know that a victim of domestic violence who has been strangled, even once, is 750% more likely to be killed by their abuser in the future. The State’s Attorney’s Office works relentlessly with our community and agency partners to hold these abusers accountable for their actions.”
The State of Maryland was represented by Assistant State’s Attorney, Special Victims Unit, Erin Pearl and Assistant State’s Attorney, Special Victims Unit/Domestic Violence Unit, Carly Gibson. The investigation leading to the arrest and conviction of the Defendant was conducted by the Frederick Police Department with assistance by the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office and led by FPD Detective Rebecca Skelly.
