Jay Cutler Arrested for DUI in Tennessee

Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested on October 17 in Franklin, Tennessee, facing multiple charges including DUI, possession of a handgun while intoxicated, failure to exercise due care, and violation of implied consent law. Cutler was involved in a traffic crash where he reportedly rear-ended another vehicle. Police noted signs of intoxication, including slurred speech and a strong odor of alcohol, and found two firearms in his vehicle, one of which was loaded. Cutler was booked at Williamson County Jail and released later that night after posting a $5,000 bond. This incident marks Cutler's first recorded legal issue, despite his controversial NFL career, notably with the Chicago Bears. He retired in 2017 and shared three children with ex-wife Kristin Cavallari.
