Jay Cutler reportedly offered $2,000 to the driver he rear-ended before he was arrested

More details have emerged about former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler’s DUI arrest earlier this week.

Poolice in Franklin, Tennessee – a suburb of Nashville – responded to a call Thursday afternoon after Cutler allegedly rear-ended the driver in front of him.

Cutler allegedly offered the other driver $2,000 not to call police, according to police documents reviewed by WGN.

Police said Cutler, 41, had bloodshot eyes and slurred his words during the encounter.

Cutler allegedly told police he had not been drinking alcohol before later admitting he had been drinking “a little bit.”

Police said Cutler refused a field sobriety test and later had his blood drawn for testing at the hospital.

The results of the blood test are still pending.

Police added that Cutler had a rifle and a loaded Glock in his vehicle.
