He was booked into the Williamson County Jail and released on $5,000 bond.
Police said Cutler was arrested following an investigation into a minor traffic collision. Police said an investigation suggested the ex-Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins star rear-ended another vehicle. Investigating officers then noticed a "strong odor of alcohol" emanating from him, officials said.
Cutler allegedly slurred his words and refused a sobriety test. Police said Cutler was found to have two firearms in his vehicle, including a loaded pistol.
