Quick Glance: Colts Owner Jim Irsay Admits Arrest Due to Wealth and Ethnicity

Jim Irsay was arrested over nine years ago for suspicion of driving under the influence and possessing a controlled substance.

In 2014, Irsay was pulled over by police in Carmel, Indiana, for driving slowly, stopping in the road, and failing to use a turn signal in his car.

Six months after his arrest, Irsay pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle under the influence and served a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy.

Irsay claims he was arrested due to his wealth and ethnicity, citing recent hip surgery as the reason for failing sobriety tests.
