Keenan Allen Arrested in Indianapolis on OWI/DWI Charges

Final charging decisions rest with the Marion County prosecutor, potentially determining team or league action.

Overview

  • Police arrested Keenan Allen early Sunday after officers found his vehicle parked in a no-parking zone and observed signs of intoxication, and online jail records show two preliminary misdemeanor counts of OWI/DWI including endangering a person and an alcohol concentration of .08 or higher.
  • Allen was processed at the Marion County Arrestee Processing Center and later reported released, but the case remains open while the Marion County Prosecutor decides whether formal charges will be filed.
  • The Colts issued a brief statement saying they are gathering information, and the arrest comes less than two weeks after Indianapolis signed Allen and hours after he made his preseason debut for the team.
  • Under NFL policy, a DUI-related incident can prompt fines or a multi-game suspension, and the league typically reviews the matter after legal proceedings unfold.
  • A 14-year veteran and six-time Pro Bowler, Allen’s arrest creates immediate uncertainty for the Colts’ receiving depth and could force short-term roster moves depending on the prosecutor’s decision and any league discipline.
