Newly released bodycam footage from the Franklin Police Department has clarified details surrounding the DUI arrest of former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler in October 2024, after weeks of speculation. The footage shows the moments after Cutler's vehicle collided with an SUV; he allegedly attempted to evade police but found himself on a dead-end street. Witnesses reported that Cutler offered the other driver $2,000 in an effort to keep the incident from involving law enforcement. Following his arrest, Cutler faced several charges, including driving under the influence and carrying a firearm while intoxicated. He ultimately accepted a plea agreement, which resulted in a guilty plea for DUI, a $350 fine, a four-day jail term, and a year of unsupervised probation. Meanwhile, the other driver involved has filed a lawsuit seeking $25,000 in damages for injuries incurred during the accident.
