A 29-year-old Seffner man will spend the rest of his life in prison after a jury convicted him in a 2025 confrontation that left a Hillsborough County deputy and a civilian employee injured. Prosecutors say the chaos started at a Williams Road residence and ended when the defendant allegedly drove into a marked patrol SUV while trying to flee deputies.
Sentencing slams the door on release
At a Tampa hearing on Tuesday, Logan Williams was handed two consecutive life sentences plus another 105 years, a stack of time prosecutors say effectively eliminates any path to release from the Florida Department of Corrections. State Attorney Suzy Lopez said her office would “pursue justice to the fullest extent of the law” in the case. The sentence caps off a prosecution that began with a violent domestic call in January 2025, as reported by Tampa Free Press.
How the confrontation unfolded
Deputies were called to an RV park on Williams Road on Jan. 24, 2025, for a reported domestic dispute in which investigators say Williams cut his 87-year-old grandmother. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, deputies deployed stop sticks and positioned a marked patrol vehicle to block the exit. Investigators say Williams first hit a civilian vehicle, then intentionally rammed the patrol SUV, injuring the deputy and a civilian employee. Both were taken to Tampa General Hospital in stable condition, according to Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office records that outline the initial account and charges.
Guilty verdicts and trial team
A jury found Williams guilty in February on charges that included attempted murder of a law enforcement officer with a weapon, attempted second-degree murder, aggravated battery on a person over 65 and driving under the influence involving property damage, according to Tampa Free Press. The prosecution was handled by Assistant State Attorneys Anna Ismer and Karina Simmons, who are listed in the felony bureau of the Hillsborough State Attorney's Office.
What the convictions mean under Florida law
Under Florida law, attempted homicide and crimes targeting law enforcement rank among the most serious felonies. Jury instructions and state statutes spell out the elements for attempted second-degree murder and similar offenses. Attempted second-degree murder can be charged when a defendant intentionally commits an act that is imminently dangerous to others, even if no one is killed, and those counts can carry decades-long or life sentences. For the legal framework, see the homicide and attempt provisions in the Florida Statutes.
Aftermath and what comes next
Sheriff Chad Chronister has publicly praised the deputy’s actions and the quick response that led to Williams’ arrest, according to department statements. With the judge’s sentence now on the books, Williams will be transferred to the Florida Department of Corrections, although the case can still move through appeals or post-conviction motions. Prosecutors have cast the outcome as firm accountability for an attack on law enforcement and a reminder of the steep consequences for targeting first responders in Hillsborough County.
