A Baker City man was arrested Tuesday for threatening another man with a weapon and stealing his car.

Colvin William Cutshall III, 30, who police describe as a transient, was arrested at 2:49 a.m. on 16th Street near Auburn Avenue. He is being held at the Baker County Jail on one count each of second-degree robbery, a Class B felony; and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, a Class C felony.

Police Chief Ray Duman said Cutshall took a 1994 Honda Civic belonging to Alen Brown, 19, of Baker City.

Cutshall reportedly had hitched a ride with Brown from Haines to Baker City on Sunday. When they stopped at Gas & Snack at 2212 10th St., Cutshall threatened Brown, who did not resist and left the vehicle, Duman said.

Cutshall also is being held on a Union County warrant charging him with third-degree theft for allegedly taking a can of spray paint from the La Grande Thatcher’s Ace Hardware Store. He was arrested at the jail Tuesday on two Baker County Circuit Court warrants charging him with violating terms of his probation.
