Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested in Franklin, Tennessee, on Thursday night, facing multiple charges including driving under the influence (DUI) and possession of a firearm while under the influence. According to a report by TMZ, Cutler was taken into custody after being stopped by law enforcement. The charges against him include DUI, failure to exercise due care, violation of the implied consent law, and illegal possession of a handgun while under the influence of alcohol.
The incident occurred in Williamson County, where Cutler was booked into the local jail. After his arrest, Cutler was held briefly before he posted a $5,000 bond and was released from custody. Additional details about the circumstances surrounding the traffic stop and arrest have not been released to the public at this time.
The charge of violation of implied consent refers to Cutler’s refusal to take a breathalyzer or other field sobriety tests required under Tennessee law. Drivers in Tennessee are required by law to submit to sobriety tests when suspected of driving under the influence, and refusal can result in additional penalties.
Cutler’s arrest has attracted significant attention, given his prominence as a former NFL quarterback. He played in the league for 12 seasons, mostly with the Chicago Bears. Cutler started his NFL career with the Denver Broncos before being traded to the Bears, where he spent the majority of his playing days. He last appeared in the league with the Miami Dolphins in 2017. During his time in the NFL, Cutler completed 62% of his passes for 35,133 yards, 227 touchdowns, and 160 interceptions.
Although Cutler has been retired from professional football for several years, he has remained in the public eye due to his reality TV appearances and personal life, including his high-profile divorce from reality TV star Kristin Cavallari.
The arrest has raised concerns about Cutler’s well-being, and it remains to be seen what legal consequences he will face as the case progresses. His next court date has not yet been announced, and it is unclear whether he will face any further charges related to the Incident.
