Colts Wide Receiver Keenan Allen Formally Charged in Alleged Drunken Driving Incident
Police say a breath test showed an ACE of .224, nearly three times the legal limit, before Allen was booked and released.
- On Tuesday, prosecutors formally charged Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen with two misdemeanor counts of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, related to his August 30 arrest in Indianapolis.
- Police arrested Allen on August 30 after an officer observed him parked in a no-parking zone downtown, noting "extremely slurred speech and glassy eyes" and a strong odor of alcohol on his breath.
- A portable breathalyzer test showed Allen's alcohol concentration at 0.224, nearly three times the legal limit; he waived his initial court hearing on Wednesday and posted a $500 cash bond on Tuesday.
- Under NFL substance abuse policy, first-time alcohol offenses typically trigger three-game suspensions, but legal proceedings often last nine months or more, meaning Allen may avoid discipline during the 2026 season.
- Colts general manager Chris Ballard previously expressed support for Allen, stating "good people make mistakes," as the veteran receiver debuted for Indianapolis on Sunday, catching six passes for 32 yards in a loss.
