Cutler, 42, was arrested in October after he
rear-ended another vehicle with his pickup truck. Police said
Cutler smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes and was slurring
his words. According to an arrest affidavit, Cutler offered the
other driver $2,000 to not call the police and to let him drive
away.
Cutler refused a field sobriety test and was taken to a
hospital, where a blood sample was obtained after getting a
search warrant. Police said they also found two firearms in the
car, including a loaded pistol.
Cutler was also charged with failure to exercise due care to
avoid a collision and violating implied consent. WSMV reported
that a weapon possession charge was dismissed as part of the
plea deal, and Cutler agreed to forfeit the pistol.
Cutler will pay a $350 fine and serve four days at the
Williamson County Jail beginning on Sept. 29. He will then be on
unsupervised probation for one year and must attend a DUI safety
class, the station reported.
A first-round draft pick out of Vanderbilt, Cutler played 12
years in the NFL, throwing for 227 touchdowns and more than
35,000 yards. In his only playoff appearance, he led the Chicago
Bears to the NFC championship game.
