At the end of September, Cutler will begin his jail sentence. The former quarterback is also required to go to a DUI safety course and he’s also been suspended for a year from using his driver’s license.

Cutler’s jail time stems from an October traffic accident that took place in Franklin, Tennessee, where police stated he showed signs that he was intoxicated.

After refusing to take a field sobriety test, he was sent to a local hospital where he had to take a blood test. In the process of this, authorities located two firearms while searching his vehicle, with one of them being loaded.

Originally, Cutler was hit with four different charges after the incident: DUI, failure to exercise due care to avoid a collision, implied consent and possession of a handgun while under the influence. With the exception of the DUI, all other charges were dropped when he agreed with prosecutors on a plea deal.
