Indianapolis Colts player Keenan Allen arrested on drunken driving charges
Keenan Allen, a longtime NFL player who recently signed with the Indianapolis Colts, was arrested early Sunday for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, police said.
Indianapolis Colts player Keenan Allen, 34, was arrested early Sunday for driving under the influence in the state's capital city, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The arrest occurred after officers noticed signs of intoxication while conducting a traffic investigation at around 1 a.m. local time, stemming from a parking violation in downtown Indianapolis.
Allen was taken into custody and charged with operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OVWI) and endangering a person. His blood alcohol level would have been .08 or higher to warrant a DWI charge. The final decision on charges will be made by the Marion County Prosecutor's Office. This incident comes fewer than two weeks after Allen signed with the Colts and as he enters his 14th NFL season.
The arrest has not affected the team's statement, as they are gathering more information and have no further comment at this time.
