Jay Cutler has been arrested for DUI and gun possession in Tennessee.

The former NFL star was jailed on Thursday after he was stopped while allegedly driving intoxicated with two firearms, including a loaded pistol, according to a police report seen by DailyMail.com

Cutler, 41, was arrested after a minor traffic collision in downtown Franklin, with the probe suggesting he rear-ended another car at around 5pm, according to a police report seen by DailyMail.com 

Police say they noticed a strong odor of alcohol during their conversation with Cutler, who reportedly had blood shot eyes. 

Cutler refused a field sobriety test and was taken to a hospital, where a blood sample was obtained through a blood search warrant, according to authorities.

The former couple initially split every other week with their kids but Cavallari said earlier this month that the arrangement changed over the last year. 

‘I’m really happy and really content having my life right now being about my kids and work. Happiness for me is peace, and peace for me is making this home exactly how I want it. I’m a homebody — I really am,’ she said on her podcast.
