Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was reportedly arrested for driving while intoxicated and gun possession Thursday (October 17) evening, TMZ reports.
Cutler, 41, was reportedly arrested in Franklin, Tennessee, and booked into Williamson County Jail on charges of DUI, failure to exercise due care, violation of implied consent law and possession of a handgun while under the influence before being released on bond later that same evening. No additional details about Cutler's arrest were immediately made available.
Cutler was a Pro Bowler in 2008 and selected as one of the 100 greatest Chicago Bears of All-Time during the team's centennial anniversary in 2019, ranking first in franchise history for passing yards (23,444), passing touchdowns (154) and QB wins (51). The Indiana native finished his 12-year NFL career with 35,133 yards, 227 touchdowns and 160 interceptions on 3,048 of 4,920 passing.
Cutler was selected by the Denver Broncos at No. 11 overall in the 2006 NFL Draft and spent his first three seasons with the franchise before being traded to the Bears in 2009. The former Vanderbilt standout initially retired in May 2017 before signing with the Miami Dolphins months later for one final season.
Cutler is the ex-husband of reality star Kristin Cavallari, whom he shares three children with and regularly appeared on the E! series Very Cavallari.
