Ex-NFL quarterback Jay Cutler arrested for DUI and gun possession in Tennessee

Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was arrested for a DUI and gun possession in Tennessee, police confirmed to CBS News on Friday.

Cutler, 41, was arrested on DUI and other charges following a minor traffic collision in downtown Franklin, the city's police spokesperson Max Winitz said. 

Officers responded to a crash involving two vehicles, around 5 p.m. on Thursday and a subsequent investigation suggested Cutler rear-ended another vehicle, officials said. Officers said they smelled alcohol during a conversation with the former NFL quarterback, but he refused to take a field sobriety test, the spokesperson said.
