Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler is reportedly behind bars.

The 42-year-old, the ex-husband of Kristin Cavallari, is serving a DUI sentence in Tennessee but should be out this week.

According to records cited by the Daily Mail, the former QB was booked into Williamson County Jail on Monday morning, where he is to serve four days following a guilty plea to a misdemeanor DUI charge in August.

Cutler was arrested after allegedly running into another vehicle from the back last October and was said to show signs of inebriation, including bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, while officers also smelled alcohol on his breath.

He is reported to have refused a sobriety test after offering the other driver $2,000 to keep police out of it and allow him to drive away.

Cutler was found with two guns in his car, leading to a possession charge. However, he entered a plea deal with prosecutors that saw the firearms charge dropped, accepting culpability for the DUI matter and paying a fine of $350.

Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari were married for seven years before divorcing in 2020. They have three children together.

They have continued to criticize each other, with Cutler speaking on their divorce as recently as August, claiming Cavallari didn’t get a single penny out of it and calling her out for lying.

“I think it’s reckless,” he said on the ‘Take it Outside’ podcast. “I think it’s borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got. 

“It’s insanity and it’s completely false, completely untrue. I hate that I even have to address it, honestly.”
Cavallari curtly avoided answering questions over her ex-husband’s claims after he lashed out.
