Cops found nearly $ 30,000 in cash and lots of prescription drug bottles when they busted Colts owner Jim Irsay for drunk driving earlier this month.
The details of Irsay’s March 16 arrest were reported by the Indianapolis Star on Wednesday night after the newspaper obtained the police reports through a public records request.
The 54-year-old NFL owner checked himself into a treatment facility two days after police found multiple prescription drugs in his vehicle during the traffic stop near his suburban home in Carmel, Ind.
The Star’s reporting says that police found $ 29,029 in cash in his Toyota Highlander. Most of the cash was found in a briefcase and laundry bag. Numerous bottle containing prescription drugs were also found in the car.
The report said Irsay had trouble standing and his speech was slurred when he was stopped on that Sunday night. He admitted taking several prescription medications, according to The Star, but refused to voluntarily submit to a blood test.
Irsay, who denied consuming any alcohol, was handcuffed at the scene and was booked into the Hamilton County Jail.
Irsay faces preliminary charges of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and four felony counts of possession of a controlled substance. He also faces discipline from the NFL under the league’s personal conduct policy.
