Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler arrested on DUI, gun charges

Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested for a DUI and gun possession in Tennessee after a collision with another vehicle, police confirmed to CBS News on Friday

Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has been arrested in Tennessee on charges of driving under the influence (DUI) and illegal gun possession, following a car accident. The incident occurred when Cutler’s vehicle collided with another car, prompting police to respond to the scene. Upon investigation, authorities determined that Cutler was under the influence of alcohol. In addition to the DUI charge, officers also discovered a firearm in his possession, leading to a gun-related charge.

The news of Cutler’s arrest comes as a surprise, as the former NFL player has largely stayed out of the public eye since his retirement from professional football. Cutler, who was drafted by the Denver Broncos and later became the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears, had a 12-year career in the NFL. He has been known for his strong arm on the field but also faced criticism during his playing days for inconsistent performances.

Cutler’s arrest adds to a list of former athletes who have faced legal trouble after their sports careers ended. The situation is currently under investigation, and further details about the charges and any potential legal proceedings are expected to emerge as authorities continue to gather information.
