As reported, Cutler allegedly offered the other driver $2,000 not to call the police following the collision. When officers arrived, they noted that Cutler’s eyes were “bloodshot” and that he was “slurring his words.” The police also detected “a strong odor of alcohol” emanating from the reality TV star.

The arresting officer detailed in the police report that Cutler appeared “staggering, swaying, and heavy-footed while walking,” and was speaking in a “thick-tongued, slurred and mumbled” manner. When questioned about his alcohol consumption, Cutler initially claimed he had consumed “none,” but later admitted to having “a little bit” to drink.

Refusal of Sobriety Tests

Cutler reportedly refused to perform field sobriety tests and was subsequently taken to a local hospital, where a blood sample was obtained through a search warrant. Despite the evidence, Cutler denied being involved in the accident, although police observed a “small dent in the rear” of the other vehicle at the scene.

During a search of Cutler’s white Ram truck, officers discovered two firearms, including a loaded pistol. As a result, Cutler was charged with driving under the influence (DUI), gun possession, failure to exercise due care to avoid a collision, and violation of implied consent law.

After being booked into the Williamson County Jail, Cutler was released later that night on a $5,000 bond. The former athlete shares three children with his ex-wife, Kristin Cavallari.

Conclusion

This incident marks a troubling chapter for Jay Cutler, who has previously made headlines as both an NFL quarterback and a reality television personality. As the legal proceedings unfold, further details regarding the case are expected to emerge.
