As a seasoned gamer with a knack for sports history, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment upon hearing about Jay Cutler‘s recent DUI arrest. The man was once a formidable force on the gridiron, leading teams like the Broncos, Bears, and Dolphins with his strong arm and strategic mind. However, it seems that off the field, he may be struggling to navigate through life’s challenges as gracefully as he did during those thrilling Sunday afternoons.
There’s been widespread concern among sports enthusiasts following the arrest of ex-NFL quarterback Jay Cutler on charges of driving under the influence (DUI) in Franklin, Tennessee. According to WSMV, the 41-year-old was apprehended by the Franklin Police Department around 6:59 PM CDT on October 18th. Throughout his 12-year career in the NFL, Cutler played as a quarterback for teams including the Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, and Miami Dolphins. Here are further details about Jay Cutler’s DUI incident and the circumstances surrounding it.
Why was former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler arrested?
Jay Cutler was taken into custody for driving under the influence (DUI), and he also has three additional accusations: neglecting his duty of care on the road, refusing a legal breath test (implied consent), and carrying a firearm whilst inebriated.
At approximately 5 PM, officers from the Franklin Police Department were dispatched to a collision involving a white Dodge Ram and a blue GMC. As stated in an affidavit by the owner of the GMC, Cutler allegedly struck him from behind, then attempted to leave the scene and offered him $2,000 not to contact authorities. The driver of the GMC claimed he sustained a back injury during the accident but declined immediate medical attention, opting instead to drive himself to the hospital for treatment.
As a dedicated fan, I must share that, during an encounter, I was suspected of being under the influence based on observations by Franklin PD officers. They noticed signs such as slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and an odor of alcohol emanating from me. Despite this, I declined to participate in a field sobriety test. This decision led to charges against me for implied consent, which refers to the Tennessee law that presumes any driver on state roads has consented to breath or blood tests to measure their potential alcohol or drug levels.
Regarding the gun possession allegation, police discovered not just one weapon but two – a rifle and a loaded Glock handgun – inside Cutler’s car.
Following his arrest at the Williamson County Jail, Cutler received a bond of $5,000 and was freed at around 10:00 PM on the same night.
