Overview
- Police stopped Allen after officers saw his car parked in a no‑parking zone on Aug. 30 and arrested him following a roadside investigation.
- Prosecutors filed formal misdemeanor charges Tuesday for operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent of 0.15 or more (Class A) and operating a vehicle while intoxicated (Class C).
- A probable‑cause affidavit says a portable breath test registered .224 and officers noted extremely slurred speech, glossy eyes, a strong odor of alcohol, and poor performance on field sobriety tests.
- Court records show Allen posted a $500 cash bond on Sept. 15, waived an initial hearing, and has an attorney conference scheduled for Oct. 26 as the case moves forward.
- The Colts have kept Allen on the roster and imposed internal discipline, and the NFL may still impose a suspension under its alcohol policy — the Class A charge carries up to one year in jail and potential fines that could affect his season and the team’s receiver depth.
