Colts’ Jim Irsay Says Infamous Arrest Occurred Because He’s ‘Rich, White Billionaire’

More than nine years have passed since Colts owner Jim Irsay was arrested for suspicion of driving a car while intoxicated and possessing a controlled substance.

In March 2014, police in Carmel, Ind., pulled Irsay over for driving slowly, stopping in the road and failing to use the turn signal in his car. When police asked him to take a roadside sobriety test, he failed multiple times. Police also found prescription drugs in pill bottles and $29,000 in cash when they searched Irsay’s car.

Six months after his arrest, Irsay pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor offense of operating a vehicle under the influence, and he served a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy before returning to the franchise.
