Jay Cutler Begins 4-Day Tennessee Jail Term After DUI Plea

A related civil lawsuit from the other driver remains pending in Williamson County.

Overview

  • The former NFL quarterback was booked into the Williamson County Jail on Monday morning and is expected to remain in custody until Friday.
  • Cutler pleaded guilty on Aug. 26 to misdemeanor DUI under a deal that dropped a weapons charge in exchange for firearm forfeiture.
  • His sentence includes a $350 fine, a DUI safety class, one year of probation and a one-year revocation of his Tennessee driver’s license.
  • Police say the Oct. 17, 2024 crash in Franklin involved Cutler rear-ending another vehicle, showing signs of intoxication, refusing field sobriety tests, a compelled blood draw and two firearms found in his truck.
  • Records state he tried to leave the scene and offered the other driver $2,000 not to call police, and the driver, identified as Perry Lee, has since sued alleging injuries while Cutler and his attorney have not publicly commented.
