ROGERS COUNTY, Okla. - The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) arrested a suspect in the death of a Catoosa man that occurred on June 7, 2020. Bradley Bales, 33, was arrested yesterday and booked into the Rogers County jail facing one charge of Murder in the First Degree for the death of 55-year-old Bart Kutt.

Just after 7 p.m. on June 8, 2020, Catoosa police officers were conducting a welfare check in the 18000 block of East Archer. The homeowner had not been seen or heard from for several days. When conducting the welfare check, officers noticed a foul smell coming from the garage. Then they saw a body lying on the floor deceased. At that time, the cause of death and the identity of the individual were undetermined.

Dental records helped identify the deceased as Kutt, who owned the property where he was found.
