Employee Was Arrested

SAN ANGELO, TX — We are known for reporting arrests and this incident is no different. One of our reporters and on-the-air personalities, Matt Cutrer, was arrested this afternoon for possession of drugs. We do not know the details of the arrest as we found out after the courts had closed for the day.

Matt is currently being held in the Tom Green County Detention Center awaiting arraignment. Usually, arrests like these are on our early morning booking report, and this one will be, but I wanted to be transparent about the situation early.

Matt joined the team in November 2023 and quickly built a rapport with the close-knit team here. This is not usual and oftentimes when hiring we go through a number of people before we find the right fit.

If this is the case in this arrest, I view addiction as a disease and I have a heavy heart reporting this to you. There were no signs at the time of hire there was a problem, obviously. I want Matt to get the help he needs.

For you, dear reader, please understand that even if the publisher and owner of San Angelo LIVE! were arrested, I would be in our reporting. The same standard applies to reporters who we employ to deliver you the news, especially breaking news that includes arrests.

We will have more information about this case sometime tomorrow if we can obtain the court documents. Like in all arrest reports, he was arrested on charges and not yet indicted. In the U.S. we presume arrested citizens innocent  until proven guilty in a court of law.
