Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay arrested for DUI and possession of a controlled substance
By Josh Hill
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay is a bit of a wild child, whether it be because he’s a filthy rich NFL owner or because he’s not dealing with getting old well. Either way, Irsay views himself as a bit of a rock star and he tends to live that way as well.
That way of living has landed Irsay in a heap of trouble, as the Colts owner was arrested for drunk driving and the possession of a controlled substance.
Per the Associated Press, via The Republic:
"Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Bryant Orem says Irsay was arrested Sunday night in the northern Indianapolis suburb of Carmel.Irsay is being held on preliminary charges of driving while intoxicated and possession of a controlled substance."
It’s unclear what the controlled substance was, but this isn’t a good situation for Irsay. So far the exact details of the case are not known, nor is it known what will happen to Irsay. Like with its players, the NFL will monitor the situation and hold Irsay accountable — perhaps more so than the players — for his actions that led to his arrest and jailing.
[UPDATE]
Video has surfaced thanks to the Indianapolis Star of Irsay being hauled into jail following his arrest.
