Despite his DUI arrest on Sunday, Indianapolis Colts receiver Keenan Allen has not yet been hit with criminal charges.
That could, however, change soon.
Michael Leffler, a spokesperson for the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office, told The Post on Monday that prosecutors are holding off on a charging decision for Allen until they get back lab results.
“The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office has requested the initial hearing be set within 20 days while it awaits laboratory results necessary to make a formal charging determination,” Leffler said. “This is standard procedure in cases of this nature.”
Allen was taken into custody in Indianapolis on Sunday at around 1 a.m. after cops alleged he showed signs of being impaired following an investigation into why his car was inside of a no-parking zone.
Jail records show he was booked on one count of DWI/DUI/OWI-endanger person and one count of DWI/DUI/OWI-ACE .08 or more before he was released at 3:49 p.m.
He did not offer a comment as he left the jail with haste.
The Colts said on Sunday morning they were “aware” Allen’s arrest and were “in the process of gathering more information.” They later made the 34-year-old a part of their final 53-man roster.
Allen, best known for his 12 seasons with the Chargers, signed with the Colts on Aug. 18 after previously mulling retirement.
He caught one pass for 24 yards in the Colts’ preseason finale against the Lions on Saturday.
