Former NFL Quarterback Jay Cutler Arrested for DUI and Gun Possession Following Car Accident
Jay Cutler, the former NFL quarterback known for his stints with the Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and Miami Dolphins, was recently arrested in Franklin, Tennessee, after an alleged DUI incident and gun possession. Authorities responded to a call around 5 p.m. last Thursday regarding a white Ram truck, reportedly driven by Cutler, which allegedly rear-ended another car. Cutler then allegedly attempted to offer the other driver $2,000 to avoid involving law enforcement. However, police were notified, and when they arrived on the scene, they observed signs of impairment.
Officers on the scene noted Cutler’s slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and an odor of alcohol. Although Cutler initially denied drinking, he later admitted to having “a little.” Police reported he refused a field sobriety test, leading to his arrest on suspicion of DUI. Additionally, a search of his vehicle revealed a loaded Glock handgun in the center console and a rifle in the backseat. He was subsequently booked at the Williamson County Jail and released later that evening on a $5,000 bond.
