What does getting pulled over with a briefcase and duffel bag full of pills and cash get you? If you're Colts owner Jim Irsay, two misdemeanor charges.


That's according to Fox59 Indianapolis, which reports that Irsay will be charged with one count of "operating while intoxicated," and one count of "operating a vehicle with a schedule I or II controlled substances or its metabolite in the body." Those substances, according to the station, were oxycodone and/or hydrocodone.

That last charge is notable—it means he'll be tried only for driving while stoned off his ass, not for having a veritable pharmacy of pills in quantities too large for human therapeutic use. But according to Fox59's source, the amount of pills "did not rise to the level of dealing status."


The charges against Irsay carry maximums of 60 days in jail.
