Jay Cutler arrested on multiple charges in Tennessee.

The former NFL passer was booked into the Williamson County Jail, and a mugshot is already circulating the web.

Cutler was released Thursday night after he posted $5,000 bond, according to the same TMZ report. No further details are known at this time about what might have sparked the stop or what interactions occurred between Cutler and the police.

The situation obviously remains fluid, and Cutler has the right to be presumed innocent in a court of law. That’s our system here in America, and be grateful that’s the case. Cutler played for the Broncos, Bears and Dolphins during his 12-year NFL career.

He finished his career with 227 passing touchdowns, 160 interceptions and 35,133 passing yards.
