Indianapolis Colts Owner Jims Irsay Charged with DUI

Indianapolis Colts Owner Jims Irsay Charged with DUI


Jim Irsay has been the owner and CEO of the Indianapolis Colts since 1997 after he inherited ownership after his father died. Irsay, now 54 years old, is facing four felony charges after being arrested in Indiana for driving under the influence as well as possession of a controlled substance.

While driving suspiciously slower than the speed limit, Jim Irsay stopped in the middle of the road and failed to use his turn signal before a cop pulled him over in Carmel, Indiana. Irsay failed the field sobriety tests that were given and several prescription pill bottles were found in his car. Unfortunately, the pills inside the bottles didn’t match the actual prescription on the bottle. Investigators have made a possible connection and assume Irsay is still struggling with an addiction to pain killers that he admitted to having back in 2002.
