The district attorney’s office says Cutler pleaded guilty to one count of filing a false police report and one count of obstruction of justice.
In April of 2017, Cutler claimed someone shot at him while he was sitting in his patrol car.
During a hearing in February, Cutler’s attorney said stress in his personal life and on the job led to the staged shooting.
