Randy Cutler Sentenced to Probation and No Additional Jail Time
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."

Government & History Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
