Son arrested for elder abuse and false imprisonment of 78 year old mother

On 03-10-2016 at approximately 05:37 PM, Mendocino County Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to a reported assault in the 500 block of Rancheria Road in Manchester, California.

Sheriff's Deputies arrived and learned that a 78 year-old female was approached by her son, John Wesley Logan, who requested her vehicle keys.  Knowing that Logan did not possess a valid driver's license, the female denied Logan's request to use the vehicle.  Logan began cursing and yelling obscenities at the female.

The female began to fear for her safety and told Logan she was contacting law enforcement.  As the female reached for the telephone, Logan grabbed the telephone receiver causing the line to disconnect, preventing the female from requesting law enforcement assistance.  The female then attempted to stand from her chair but Logan placed his hands on her shoulders forcing her back into the chair.

After a short time, Logan left the room.  The female obtained her vehicle keys and purse and attempted to leave the residence through the front door.  Logan blocked the front door, again placing his hands on the female's shoulders and pushed her into the kitchen of the residence.  Logan forced the female to sit in a chair and again began yelling at her.  Logan forcibly removed the keys from the female's hands and left the location in the female's vehicle.

Sheriff's Deputies searched the area attempting to locate Logan and the vehicle, without success.  Later the same evening, family members of the female were able to locate the vehicle but Logan was still outstanding.

On 03-11-2016 at approximately 11:30 PM, Sheriff's Deputies responded to the female's residence where they contacted Logan.

Logan was placed under arrest without incident.

Logan was booked into the Mendocino County Jail for violations of 215(a) PC [Carjacking], 136.1(c) PC [Prevent/Dissuade Witness from Testify], 236 PC [False Imprisonment] and 368(b)(1) PC [Elder Abuse].
