Watch body cam footage of Jay Cutler’s 2024 arrest

Police cam footage of former Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s Oct. 17, 2024, DUI arrest was posted by TMZ on Thursday.

Cutler rear-ended a car in front of him in Franklin, Tennessee, refused a field sobriety test and took a blood draw. A driver claimed Cutler offered them $2,000 to not call the police. He was charged with DUI, gun possession — he had a rifle and a loaded pistol — while intoxicated, failure to exercise due care and implied consent. He was released on $5,000 bond and eventually served two days in jail.

Asked whether he’s been drinking alcohol, Cutler at first says “none” and then admitted that he drank “a little bit” before refusing to do a field sobriety test. That prompted authorities to take his driver’s license.

He later took a blood draw. TMZ reported he had a 0.23 blood-alcohol level.

Cutler played for the Bears from 2009-2016 before signing to play for the Dolphins for one season.
