Keenan Allen Charged With Two Misdemeanor DUI Counts

A late-October attorney conference advances the court case, leaving potential NFL discipline dependent on the legal outcome.

Overview

  • Prosecutors filed a Class A count for operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent of 0.15 or more and a Class C count for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
  • Court documents allege a portable breath test registered .224 and describe signs of impairment including extremely slurred speech, glossy eyes, a strong odor of alcohol, and poor performance on field sobriety tests.
  • Police say officers stopped Allen after finding his car in a no-parking zone in downtown Indianapolis and took him into custody just after 1 a.m. on Aug. 30 before he was released later that day.
  • A Marion County magistrate set a $500 cash bond that was paid and an attorney conference is scheduled for late October, with Allen’s initial hearing waived by his attorney.
  • The Colts have kept Allen on the roster and said he faced internal discipline, and the NFL may still impose suspension under its alcohol policy depending on the case’s outcome.
