Allen faces two OWI misdemeanors. An NFL suspension is discipline, not a verdict.

Charging documents and a reported blood-alcohol number are accusations and evidence claims. They are not a conviction. League discipline is a separate employment process, not a criminal verdict. Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen, 34, was formally charged, in reporting dated about Tuesday, Sept. 16, 2026, with two Indiana misdemeanors from an Aug. 30, 2026 Indianapolis arrest: operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration of 0.15 or more, a Class A misdemeanor, and operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class C misdemeanor. Two captions on a charging instrument are how an OWI file starts. They are not a finding that the State proved either count.

Court and records reporting put a blood-alcohol / ACE test at 0.224. Officers said he was parked in a no-parking zone and showed signs of intoxication after a traffic investigation around 1 a.m. by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. A lab number and an officer’s roadside observations are evidence the State may offer. They are not a verdict, and a 0.224 figure in reporting is not a court finding that intoxication was proved. He posted a $500 cash bond. An attorney conference is set for Oct. 26, 2026. The initial hearing was waived. Bond and a calendar date are process. They are not a guilty plea.

Sept. 20–21 reporting says sources put him facing a minimum three-game NFL suspension under the substances-of-abuse policy for a first alcohol-related offense, with discipline typically coming after the legal case, and that he can continue playing in the meantime. An NFL suspension is employment and league discipline. It is not a criminal conviction. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
