According to WGN, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested Thursday night for driving under the influence in Franklin, Tennessee.
According to police, 41-year-old Cutler was involved in a minor traffic collision after rear-ending another vehicle. He slurred his words and refused a field sobriety test before being taken to a local hospital and having a blood sample taken with a warrant.
Police searched Cutler's car and found two guns, including a loaded pistol.
Cutler was later taken into custody and charged with DUI, failure to exercise due care to avoid a collision, implied consent and possession of a handgun while under the influence.
After being booked into the Williamson County Jail, Cutler was released on a $5,000 bond.
Cutler was the No. 11 overall draft pick out of Vanderbilt in 2006 by the Denver Broncos. He played 12 years in the NFL with the Broncos, Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins. He retired after the 2017 season.
