A Bell County grand jury has returned a true bill on 28-year-old Logan Trent Howard indicting him on multiple charges.
Friday morning April 11, 2025, Bell County Deputies and a Pineville Officer responded to a call of a domestic violence incident at a Varilla Road residence in Calvin. Once on scene Logan Howard was seen arguing with his girlfriend at the door to the residence. Howard was taken into custody during the investigation.

Howard was initially held in the Knox County Detention Center but is currently lodged in the Bell County Detention Center. Detective Hunter Luttrell is in charge of the investigation.
Howard is also facing multiple charges regarding the theft of multiple firearms from a family member. He is charged in that case with (12) counts of theft by unlawful taking - firearm, (3) counts of convicted felon in possession of a firearm, (9) nine counts of convicted felon in possession of a handgun, and theft by unlawful taking - all others - over $1,000 but under $10,000.
