Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested on Thursday night in Franklin, Tennessee, for driving under the influence (DUI) and for having a gun while intoxicated. The 41-year-old Cutler faces several charges, including failure to exercise due care and violating implied consent laws.
Cutler was taken to Williamson County Jail, where he was booked and later released after posting a $5,000 bond. Details about the incident are still unclear, and police have not provided more information at this time.
Jay Cutler was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2006 and had a successful 12-year career in the NFL. He played for the Broncos, Chicago Bears, and Miami Dolphins. Cutler established himself as a talented quarterback, earning a spot in the Pro Bowl while playing for Denver.
In 2009, he was traded to the Chicago Bears, where he helped lead the team to a division title and an NFC Championship Game in his second season. Cutler played a key role in making the Bears competitive during his eight years with the team. After briefly retiring in 2017, he returned to the Dolphins for one last season before retiring for good.
Outside of football, Cutler is known for his marriage to reality TV star Kristin Cavallari. They were married for almost ten years and appeared on the reality show “Very Cavallari,” which shows their life in Nashville with their three children: Camden, Jaxon, and Saylor. The couple finalized their divorce in 2022.
Cutler’s recent arrest adds to the difficulties he has faced in his personal life. The charges against him are serious, especially having a gun while drunk, which could lead to legal problems if he is found guilty.
As the situation develops, fans and the public are waiting for more information about Cutler’s arrest. He has not yet commented on the incident, but it raises questions about his choices both on and off the field.
