"Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler will spend several days in the Williamson County (Tennessee) Jail as part of a plea deal he took stemming from a drunken driving arrest in October 2024. WSMV is reporting that Cutler, 42, pleaded guilty in a Franklin, Tennessee, courtroom on Tuesday. A judge accepted Cutler's guilty plea, which will require him to report to jail on Sept. 29 to serve a four-day jail sentence and forfeit his Tennessee driver's license."
"Cutler is also required to pay a $350 fine. He will be on unsupervised probation for one year and must attend a DUI safety class. The charges stem from a car crash last October where Cutler rear-ended another driver with his Dodge Ram truck. A release from the Franklin Police Department obtained by ESPN states that officers who responded to the scene smelled a "strong odor of alcohol" on Cutler's person. Officers also noted that Cutler slurred his words and had blood shot eyes. Cutler refused field sobriety tests and was taken to a local hospital where a blood sample was obtained through a blood search warrant. A police search of Cutler's vehicle revealed that he had two firearms in his possession, including a loaded pistol. As part of his plea deal, the weapon possession charge was dismissed. According to WSMV, Cutler agreed to "forfeit" the pistol in the deal."
