EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — The morning of June 30, around 3:15 a.m., deputies with the El Paso County Sheriff's Office (EPSO) were doing a routine patrol check at the Travelodge Hotel on Space Village Avenue.
While on patrol, deputies saw a spray-painted Subaru Legacy without license plates entering the parking lot.
After the car stopped, a deputy positioned a marked car behind the Subaru to investigate because they thought it may have been stolen.

When they searched the car, they found the following:
- 86 grams of methamphetamine
- 15 fentanyl pills
- A large knife
- A replica “UZI” airsoft gun
- Additional unspecified drug paraphernalia
Cutter was taken into the El Paso County Jail on the following charges:
- Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance

He's being held on a $75,000 bond.
