Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler has found himself in hot water after being arrested for DUI and gun possession following a minor crash in downtown Franklin, Tennessee. The incident, which occurred last Thursday, involved Cutler rear-ending another vehicle and allegedly attempting to flee the scene. According to police reports, Cutler smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes, and slurred his words. Officers also discovered a rifle in the backseat of his truck and a loaded handgun in the center console, leading to multiple charges, including driving under the influence and failure to exercise due care.
Cutler’s ex-wife, reality TV star Kristin Cavallari, addressed the incident briefly on her podcast, “Let’s Be Honest.” In her episode titled “Breaking Up Sucks,” Cavallari told listeners that she recorded the episode prior to the incident and wanted to make a quick comment. “I will not be commenting on what happened,” she said, wishing her ex-husband the best and expressing hope that he gets the help he needs. Cavallari made it clear she wouldn’t be speaking further about the matter, focusing instead on the broader theme of moving on from difficult relationships.
This unfortunate incident involving Cutler is a reminder of how quickly a small crash can escalate into a serious legal situation. While no one condones the dangerous actions of driving under the influence or illegal gun possession, it’s important to recognize how even minor accidents can lead to major consequences, especially when legal complexities are involved.
