Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested on Thursday in Franklin, Tennessee, for driving under the influence and possession of a handgun. The 12-year NFL veteran faces multiple charges, including DUI-first offense, possession of a handgun while under the influence, failure to exercise due care to avoid a collision, and violation of the implied consent law.
According to the Franklin Police Department, Cutler was booked into Williamson County Jail and released after posting a $5,000 bond. Specific details about the incident are still under investigation.
Cutler, who was originally drafted by the Denver Broncos with the 11th overall pick in 2006, had a notable NFL career, including eight seasons with the Chicago Bears. During his time in Chicago, he led the team to an NFC Championship appearance and recorded a career win-loss record of 52-52 with the Bears.
Since retiring from the NFL in 2017, Cutler has remained in the media spotlight, hosting a podcast and making headlines due to his high-profile divorce from reality star Kristin Cavallari.
This arrest marks a significant turn for Cutler, who has mostly stayed out of legal trouble since his playing days ended.
