Ex-NFL QB Jay Cutler facing DUI, other charges in Tennessee

Jay Cutler

Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler is facing multiple charges after his arrest Thursday night in Franklin, Tenn.

Cutler, 41, was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI, implied consent, possession of a handgun while under the influence, and failure to exercise due care to avoid a collision, according to police.

He was booked into the Williamson County jail and released on a $5,000 bond.

According to The Tennessean, Cutler was involved in a two-vehicle accident around 5 p.m. Thursday. The driver of the other car told police that Cutler offered him $2,000 not to call authorities and tried to flee the scene. That driver, a 61-year-old man, complained of back pain and transported himself to the hospital.

Cutler was arrested after officers noticed a strong odor of alcohol while talking with him and said the ex-player had bloodshot eyes and slurred his words, per The Tennessean.

He admitted to officers that he had consumed “a little bit” of alcohol but refused a field sobriety test. Blood was drawn at a local hospital, per the report.

Cutler was drafted No. 11 overall out of Vanderbilt by the Broncos in 2006 and spent 12 seasons in the league with Denver (2006-08), the Chicago Bears (2009-16) and Miami Dolphins (2017). He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2008.
