When officers arrived on the scene, the police claimed Cutler’s eyes were “bloodshot” and that he was “slurring his words.” They also alleged there was “a strong odor of alcohol” on the reality TV star.
Additionally, the arresting officer wrote in the police report that he noticed Cutler was “staggering, swaying, and heavy-footed while walking” and spoke “thick-tongued, slurred and mumbled.”
The officer then asked Cutler how much alcohol he had consumed that night, to which the “Very Cavallari” star answered, “None.” However, he later admitted he had “a little bit” to drink, per the police report.
