Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested Thursday night in Franklin, Tennessee, on multiple charges, including driving under the influence and gun possession.

According to TMZ, the 41-year-old was also hit with additional charges of failure to exercise due care and violation of the implied consent law.

Cutler was taken into custody at the Williamson County Jail and released later that evening after posting a $5,000 bond.

Cutler’s arrest stemmed from a car accident in which he allegedly rear-ended another vehicle while driving his White Ram truck.

According to law enforcement, Cutler attempted to offer the other driver $2,000 in an effort to prevent them from calling the police.

However, officers arrived at the scene and observed the former NFL star staggering, slurring his speech, and smelling strongly of alcohol.

Initially, Cutler denied consuming any alcohol but later admitted to drinking “a little.” Officers reported that Cutler refused to take field sobriety tests, leading to his arrest.

A subsequent search of his vehicle revealed a rifle in the backseat and a loaded Glock handgun in the center console.
