Indianapolis
Colts owner
Jim Irsay was stopped on Sunday night and charged by police with
driving under the influence of alcohol and

In Maryland,

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.
