Jim Irshay Facing DUI and Possession Charges
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay was stopped on Sunday night and charged by police with driving under the influence of alcohol and possession of a controlled substance.
In Maryland, driving under the influence of alcohol carries a maximum penalty of 1 year in jail and/or $1000.00 fine and 12 point on the driver's record.
Also, in Maryland, if you are convicted of possession of marijuana, the penalties can range from 90 days in jail to 1 year and if you are in possession of non-marijuana, the maximum penalty is 4 years in jail.
Police are quoted saying: "During the course of the investigation, Irsay subsequently failed several roadside field sobriety tests." In an inventory of Irsay's vehicle, "multiple prescription drugs were discovered in pill bottles," police said. "These Schedule IV prescription drugs were not associated with any prescription bottles found in the vehicle."
Irsay faces four counts of felony possession of controlled substances.
If you are facing a DUI or possession of controlled dangerous substances in Maryland, call attorney Randolph Rice at 410-288-2900 for immediate legal help.
