CHARGED: Jay Cutler, Vanderbilt Football
NASHVILLE -- Tennessean reports Vanderbilt Coach Bobby Johnson suspended quarterback Jay Cutler indefinitely last night after the redshirt freshman was issued four misdemeanor citations, including underage consumption of alcohol and evading arrest, by university police.
According to a Vanderbilt University Police Department report, an officer spotted Cutler and another person allegedly ripping the handset off one of the school's emergency phones at around 2 a.m. yesterday. The report said when the officer called out, Cutler and the other person ran toward a nearby parking lot, where Cutler hid behind a car. Cutler ran again when the officer approached, the report said.
Cutler then ran into another officer who had been called in for assistance. Cutler tried to free himself before both officers forced him to the ground and handcuffed him, the report said. As Cutler was taken into custody the officers said they detected an odor of alcohol and charged him with underage consumption. Cutler turned 19 in April. The legal drinking age in Tennessee is 21.
