According to the plea agreement, on December 27, 2015, McNutt was stopped by the Idaho State Police for a traffic violation on U.S. 91 in Bannock County, Idaho and arrested on an outstanding warrant. A search of McNutt’s vehicle revealed a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber pistol and a FEG 7.62 x 39 caliber rifle. McNutt admitted to unlawfully possessing both guns.
