Story summary

Keenan Allen, a Colts wide receiver, was arrested on August 30 at around 1 AM after being pulled over for parking his white Nissan in a no-parking zone. He exhibited multiple signs of intoxication, including extremely slurred speech and glossy eyes, as well as a strong odor of alcohol from his breath. His blood alcohol level tested at .224, nearly three times the legal limit of .08. Allen performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was charged with operating while intoxicated (OVWI) and OWI endangering, both misdemeanor offenses in Indiana.

Allen is facing a minimum three-game suspension from the NFL due to his high blood alcohol level, as mandated by the league's collective bargaining agreement. The Colts are allowing Allen to play until his legal case concludes on October 26, with no immediate playing time restrictions imposed by the team.
