Jay Cutler reports to jail
Jay Cutler has reported to jail to serve his four-day sentence for misdemeanour DUI.
Jay Cutler reported to jail this week.
The former Chicago Bears quarterback - who has Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11, and Saylor, nine, with ex-wife Kristin Cavallari - pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanour DUI after being arrested in October 2024 and according to records seen by E! News, he reported to Williamson County Jail in Franklin, Tennessee, on 29 September for his four-day sentence.
Jay was checked into custody at 5.34pm local time after arriving at the facility hours earlier.
Once he is released from prison, the 42-year-old sportsman must pay a $350 fine and attend a DUI safety class, as well as serving one year of supervised probation.
Jay was arrested last year following a minor traffic collision, with police who arrived at the scene told by another driver that the NFL star had rear-ended him before allegedly offering money and attempting to leave the scene.
A release from the Franklin Polie Department revealed at the time: "During their conversation with Cutler, officers noticed a strong odour of alcohol.
"Cutler was also slurring his words and had blood shot eyes. Cutler refused field sobriety tests and was taken to a local hospital where a blood sample was obtained through a blood search warrant."
Jay told officers when he was arrested that he hadn't drank alcohol before later admitting he had had "a little bit".
He eventually pleaded guilty to one charge, but had also faced charges of failure to exercise due care to avoid a collision and implied consent, as well as possession of a handgun while under the influence, after officers found a loaded pistol and rifle in his car.
However, the charge was ultimately dropped once he forfeited the weapon.
Meanwhile, Jay recently hit back at Kristin after the Uncommon James founder claimed she "didn't get any money" from their divorce after they split in 2020.
Speaking on his own Take It Outside podcast, Jay - who was once the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL - said: “Let’s think about this logically. ‘Not a penny,’ OK. Married for, I don’t know, seven years or so, three kids.
“You can go and see how much I made in the NFL. It’s online. You can see the contract from year to year and the total amount at the end of 12 years. So, you go to divorce and each side gets a lawyer and then you go to court and there’s a judge.”
Jay insisted there is “not a judge in the state of Tennessee” that would have signed an agreement that let him “keep every single dollar” he made throughout their marriage, noting Kristin's company, Uncommon James was a "marital asset" because the former Laguna Beach star funded it during their relationship.
He added: “I think it’s reckless. I think it’s borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got. It’s insanity.
"It’s completely false, completely untrue. It is, it just is. I’ve got a divorce decree. I’ve got something that’s signed by the judge — it’s, like, 67 pages — it says the number breakdown.”
