The Place Where Ludington Talks
A Magistrate's Mistake
If you haven't had the opportunity to drive into Ludington the last few days, you may have missed Ryan 'Logik' Roberts and a growing number of people protesting out in front of the courthouse. National media hasn't missed what's happening nor have they missed why he is there, as is related in an article from the Gateway Pundit and 100% Fed Up.
The backstory happened in that same Mason County Courthouse, where Magistrate Glenn Jackson III committed what has to have been the biggest mistake in his career. A very habitual, violent offender named Isaiah Gardenhire with a host of felonies in his career was brought before him with CSC 2nd degree charges. Jackson decided properly that Gardenhire should not be released on personal recognizance, but was given a bond of $7500 at 10%, and was able to get out with $750 and go on a new crime spree where a child was killed and multiple people were assaulted.
There has been no explanation why Jackson set such a low bond and gave Gardenhire the 10% option. 10% bonds started in Michigan in 1978 and was designed to be used for non-violent, first time offenders. Magistrate Jackson has had plenty of time to explain the low bond amount and why the 10% option was offered; he has decided to hide behind plexiglass, a mask, and some unexplained special privilege that he believes keeps him unaccountable to the public.
In actuality, the law says he has a duty to divulge reasons behind his bonding decisions, MCL 756.6 says:
MI Magistrate Confronted By Citizen Journalist For Setting $750 Bail For 40-Yr-Old Accused Child Rapist Who Immediately Went On Raping, Murder, Carjacking, Hostage-Taking Crime Spree
On May 26, 40-year-old “habitual criminal” Isaiah Gardenhire was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a teenage girl in Mason County, MI.
Shoreline Media reported on the arrest of Isaiah G. Gardenhire, who was arraigned on a felony count of criminal sexual conduct second degree (under 13 and defendant was at least 17) and a felony count of habitual offender supplemental warrant third conviction following a May 27 arrest by the Mason County Sheriff’s Office. A $7,500, 10 percent bond was set. A probable cause hearing was scheduled for June 9.
100 Percent Fed Up reports – Only 3 days before his trial, Mason County Magistrate Glenn Jackson basically gave him a get-out-of-jail-[almost]free card, setting his bond at $7,500 with a 10% requirement for his release. That means it only took $750 to set a violent habitual criminal accused of raping a minor free to go on a 45-hour violent crime spree in the Mt. Pleasant, MI area.
According to an anonymous source, Gardenhire’s first stop after he was released from jail was the Mason Co. home of his current wife, who is in the process of divorcing Gardenhire. Fortunately, the soon-to-be-former Mrs. Gardenhire, and her young daughter, were shopping when he came to their home. According to our witness, Gardenhire’s wife had contacted the authorities on several occasions, asking for help when the “habitual criminal” was seen lurking around her at her home.
She also posted this message on her Facebook page:
In another Facebook post, the frustrated wife blamed the Mason County magistrate for choosing a $7500 bail for Isaiah Gardenhire:
The next stop on his violent crime spree was his girlfriend Tiffany Buck’s Mt. Pleasant area home, where he stabbed her 13-year-old daughter to death, and sexually assaulted Tiffany, and stabbed her as well.
The police inexplicably reported that Gardenhire, who had already stabbed a 13-year-old to death and sexually assaulted and stabbed her mother, was not a danger to the community.
Curiously, many of the publications which wrote about Gardenhire’s alleged killing of the teenager and sexual assault and stabbing of her mother never mentioned that he was a black male in their description of him.
Gardenhire was finally arrested on June 8, following an alleged 45-hour crime spree that police say involved robbery, carjacking, hostage-taking, and the sexual assault of a second woman. Before the police arrived on the scene at Buck’s home, Gardenhire fled the scene and allegedly hid from police for hours in a vacant apartment.
MSN – Authorities allege he emerged several hours later and approached a man and woman.
Police allege he struck the man, and entered the couple’s apartment, holding them both hostage.
According to officials, Gardenhire then allegedly repeatedly sexually assaulted the female victim before stealing money from the couple and fleeing in their 2014 Ford Fusion.
“This is certainly a horrific tragedy and a completely senseless loss of life,” Isabella County Prosecutor David Barberi said.
Barberi is unsure of what led to that decision, considering Gardenhire’s criminal history. He said it’s the byproduct of a softer approach to criminal justice. “This is the unfortunate consequence, the unintended consequence of no cash bail and bail reform,” Barberi said.
Adrie A. Dembowske’s obituary describes her as a ” happy-go-lucky and sweet girl.” Thanks to a broken justice system, Demoboske, whose 14th birthday was only days away, won’t be around to blow out her candles, as her life has been snuffed out by a violent man who was released from jail for a measly $750.
Ryan “Logik” Roberts, a conservative activist in the Mason County area, confronted Magistrate Glenn Jackson in his office.
Roberts asked him why the bond he set for a dangerous criminal was so low?
“Locking people up without giving them any chance of bond when they are presumed to be innocent isn’t fair,” the Mason County magistrate told Roberts. “The Constitution provides everyone the presumption of innocence, ” he told the conservative activist. “Knowing he had to go to court on the 9th, he shouldn’t have been given any bond,” Roberts told the magistrate.
Jackson said that history would show his decision to be “reasonable.” Roberts asked why he didn’t set a higher bond, and the magistrate told him that he couldn’t discuss the rationale behind his decision, saying he should talk to his lawmaker. Roberts told Jackson that they would be protesting in front of the courthouse until they get answers, telling Jackson, “Their blood is on your hands!”
Despite what Magistrate Jackson told Roberts, Gardenhire has an extensive criminal history:
2014 – firearm possession by a felon.
2004 – Home invasion 2nd degree.
2003 – forcible entry judgment and eviction.
2000 – Assault an Employee or criminal escape from jail (attempted)
2000 – Assault with a Dangerous Weapon (attempted felonious Assault)
On February 16, 2016, The Mason County Press reported the sentencing of Isaiah Gardenhire following his appeal where 3 of the 4 felony charges against him were dropped. In their headline, they refer to Gardenhire as a “habitual criminal.”
Ryan “Logik” Roberts has been protesting every day since he confronted Magistrate Jackson. Support true patriots like Ryan “Logik” Roberts by sending him a message of support on his Facebook or YouTube channel or by showing up at one of his ongoing protests in front of the Mason County Courthouse.

Thanks for putting this information together. I would probably title this as “ a magistrates cover up of his reckless endangerment of the public”. The magistrate aided and abetted criminal activity by releasing a dangerous person back on the street and he needs to be held accountable. This was no “whoops, sorry l made a boo boo”. The magistrates actions were criminal.
