Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay has been charged with two misdemeanors after a March driving arrest, according to multiple media reports.

Irsay has been charged with one count of operating while intoxicated, a C misdemeanor, and one count of operating a vehicle with a schedule I or II controlled substance or its metabolite in the body, also a C misdemeanor. The substances were oxycodone and/or hydrocodone.

The misdemeanor charges carry 60-day jail sentences if Irsay is convicted. They were filed Friday in Hamilton County, Ind.

Irsay was arrested March 17 in Carmel, Ind., for allegedly operating a vehicle while intoxicated. At the time of his arrest, police say he had $29,000 in cash and bottles of prescription drugs in his vehicle.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to address how he plans to discipline Irsay, saying he wants to see how the legal case proceeds.

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.

I would imagine his suspension will be light also from the warden. Goddell wants to send a message, he should give 1 yr. suspension.
