Former NFL Quarterback Jay Cutler Jailed Four Days for Misdemeanor DUI in Tennessee

Jay Cutler, the former NFL quarterback known for his time with the Broncos, Bears, and Dolphins, has begun serving a four-day jail sentence in Tennessee after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor DUI charge related to a car accident in October 2024. During the incident, Cutler was found to be intoxicated, refused field sobriety tests, and had two firearms in his vehicle, one loaded, though weapons charges were dropped as part of a plea deal. Along with his jail time, Cutler was fined $350, placed on a year of unsupervised probation, ordered to attend a DUI safety course, and had his driver's license suspended for one year. Cutler, a father of three, shares custody of his children with ex-wife Kristin Cavallari, with whom he has had public disputes since their 2020 divorce. The plea agreement resolved multiple charges, including reckless driving and refusal to comply with implied consent laws. This legal outcome follows a high-profile career and personal life, marked by both athletic achievements and public controversies.
