Jan. 15, 2014: After more than a year, a court decision regarding an illegal weapons charge against Bronxville resident Randy Cutler has been handed down. The relevant incident occurred on November 1, 2012.

According to a January 9, 2014, article in the Journal News, Randy Cutler was sentenced to "time served and probation Tuesday [January 7] after pleading guilty to an illegal-weapons charge." He originally faced a maximum sentence of seven years in state prison.

Cutler had been arraigned in county court on May 29, 2013, on a seven-count indictment charging him with one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, a class D violent felony, and six counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, class A misdemeanors. He "served less than a year in county jail after reaching an agreement with prosecutors," according to the Journal News.

The arraignment and charges grew out of an incident that occurred in Bronxville during the weekend of Hurricane Sandy when the Bronxville police were called "on a report of a 'domestic dispute'" between Randy Cutler and his brother.

The younger brother was staying at the home of the brothers' parents on Westway, where Randy Cutler had been living for some time and had a bedroom on the third floor. There was no electricity in the house because of Hurricane Sandy, and a dispute ensued over the use of a generator.

According to the statement filed in the subsequent police report, "The defendant began to argue with his brother and sister in law at which point the defendant pointed a firearm at his brother from the staircase."

After a call from a family member stating that Randy Cutler was pointing a gun at him, police officers were immediately dispatched to the residence. They obtained a search warrant, "After which the defendant was charged with possession of four hand guns, a switchblade knife, and brass knuckles," according a May 29, 2013, statement posted on the website of Janet DiFiore, Westchester County district attorney.

Subsequently, the Journal News reported on July 30, 2013, that Randy Cutler had, on the contrary, blamed his brother for the incident in a statement given to the police shortly after the incident and then-recently disclosed court papers, stating that his brother "hit him in the head with a socket wrench" and "pointed the sharp end of a crow bar in his chest . . . threatening his life." According the July 30 Journal News article, the brother denied Randy Cutler's allegations and was never charged with any crime.

According to the January 9 Journal News article, Cutler pleaded guilty in Westchester County Court to one felony, "meaning that he will most likely have to surrender his law license."
