 <\/p>\n

Former NFL star Jay Cutler has started serving his time behind bars as part of a plea deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former\u00a0football<\/a>\u00a0quarterback, who played in the\u00a0NFL<\/a>\u00a0for 12 seasons, is facing a brief stint in jail after making a deal with prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Cutler, who pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanour DUI, was booked into Williamson County Jail in Franklin, Tennessee, on Monday (September 29) to serve four days behind bars.<\/p>\n

The 42-year-old former Broncos, Bears and Dolphins quarterback, faces the short sentence after cutting a deal with\u00a0prosecutors<\/a>\u00a0to drop a weapons charge he was facing.<\/p>\n

The incident unfolded during a\u00a0car<\/a>\u00a0accident in October last year, during which the athlete had rear-ended another vehicle.<\/p>\n

Upon arriving to the scene, cops suspected Cutler was intoxicated.<\/p>\n

They reported he had bloodshot eyes and was slurring his words when they spoke to him at the scene on October 17.<\/p>\n

He also refused to take a field sobriety test at the scene, though later had a blood sample taken at a local hospital and reportedly told officers he had ‘a little bit’ when asked if he had consumed\u00a0alcohol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Police<\/a>\u00a0also said they found two firearms in his car, one of which was loaded.<\/p>\n

Cutler then faced charges including driving under the influence, reckless driving leading to a collision, violating implied consent regulations and unlawfully possessing a\u00a0firearm<\/a>\u00a0while intoxicated.<\/p>\n

The father-of-three, whom he shares with his ex-wife<\/a>, reality\u00a0TV<\/a>\u00a0star Kristin Cavallari, pleaded guilty in court and was sentenced to four days behind bars.<\/p>\n

The judge ordered Cutler to attend a DUI safety course and suspended his driver’s license for a year.<\/p>\n

He has also been ordered to pay a $350 fine and serve a further year of unsupervised probation.<\/p>\n

The other charges were dropped as part of his plea deal.<\/p>\n

Cutler’s sentence comes following his messy divorce from Cavallari.<\/p>\n

After welcoming Camden, 13, Jaxon, 11 and Saylor, nine, the pair formally split in April 2020 after seven years of marriage.<\/p>\n

Since the divorce, the pair have been publicly jibing at each other on social media, mostly over money and Cutler’s alleged $128 million\u00a0fortune<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Cavallari claimed she ‘never got a penny’ from the NFL star following the split, to which he snapped back that her comments were ‘reckless.’<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s borderline slander to insinuate that there was zero dollars split during the marriage that each side got,” he said on the ‘Take It Outside’ podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s insanity and it\u2019s completely false, completely untrue. I hate that I even have to address it, honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got a divorce decree,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019ve got something that\u2019s signed by the judge \u2014 it\u2019s, like, 67 pages [and] it says the number breakdown.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
