Cutler was arrested on Thursday, October 17, after he allegedly rear-ended another vehicle in Franklin, Tennessee. He was booked for a DUI at the Williamson County Jail in Nashville, according to online records viewed by TMZ. The 41-year-old posted bond several hours later and was released. Cutler was reportedly also charged with failure to exercise due care, violation of implied consent law and possession of a handgun while under the influence.

Per docs obtained by TMZ, Cutler allegedly tried to flee the scene and offered the other driver $2,000 not to involve authorities. Law enforcement, however, arrived at the scene a few minutes later to find that the former quarterback was "staggering, swaying and heavy-footed while walking," while also having "bloodshot, glassy, red/pink, watery and dilated" eyes.

When asked whether he had consumed any alcoholic beverages, Cutler initially replied, "None," before admitting "a little bit" after the policeman noticed the scent of alcohol.

Cutler refused a field sobriety test, per the docs, and was taken to a hospital where a blood sample was obtained. He has yet to publicly comment on the incident.

Cutler and Cavallari were married for nearly a decade beginning in 2013, but finalized their divorce in 2022. They starred in the popular reality show, Very Cavallari, which followed their life in Nashville with their 3 children -- Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 8.
