Former NFL Quarterback Jay Cutler Arrested for DUI and Gun Possession in Tennessee
New allegations surrounding Jay Cutler’s DUI arrest have surfaced.
The NFL star was charged with a first offense of driving while intoxicated—as well as possession of a handgun while under the influence, failure to exercise due care and a violation of implied consent law—on Oct. 17 in Franklin, Tenn., after a minor traffic collision between two cars, according to authorities.
A police affidavit obtained by E! News Oct. 17 indicates that the driver of the vehicle Jay’s white Ram allegedly rear-ended told responding officers that the 41-year-old attempted to flee the scene after offering him $2,000 to not call law enforcement.
While speaking with Jay, officers noticed that former Chicago Bears quarterback’s speech was “thick-tongued, slurred and mumbled” and his eyes as “bloodshot,” according to the charging document. Jay—who shares kids Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 8, with ex-wife Kristin Cavallari—allegedly “had an overwhelming odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his person,” but denied consuming any alcohol before admitting he’d had “a little bit.”
