Former Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested in Tennessee on Thursday night.
The retired NFL star, 41, was stopped by police in Franklin and faces four charges, including allegedly driving while intoxicated and illegal possession of a gun.
The Franklin Police Department confirmed Jay’s arrest to People, with a spokesperson revealing he was released on a $5,000 bond from the Williamson County Jail on Thursday night.

Jay was drafted to the NFL in 2006 and was most notably the quarterback for the Chicago Bears during his 12 seasons in the league, but he also played for the Denver Broncos and the Miami Dolphins, which was his last team before he retired in 2017.
He was married to reality TV star, Kristin Cavallari for nearly a decade before they divorced in 2022. They share three children, sons Camden, 11, and Jaxon, nine, and daughter Saylor, eight.

Kristin claimed Jay was “guilty of such inappropriate marital conduct as renders further cohabitation unsafe and improper”.
She also said, “any misconduct alleged or implied against her” in Jay’s divorce petition “was in response to and/or as a result of misconduct on [Jay’s] behalf.”
