Colts Assistant Coach and Former DL Robert Mathis Arrested for Drunk Driving

Indianapolis Colts assistant coach and former All-Pro defensive end Robert Mathis was arrested early Tuesday morning and charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

According to Vic Ryckaert and Dakota Crawford of the Indianapolis Star, police records show Mathis was arrested shortly after midnight local time in Carmel, Indiana, on Tuesday morning and held in Hamilton County Jail.

Nicole Griffin of RTV6 provided Mathis' mugshot in a tweet and added he was charged with endangering a person while operating a vehicle while intoxicated:

TMZ Sports later reported, citing law enforcement sources, that Mathis took a Breathalyzer test and blew a .052, below the legal limit of .08. TMZ also reported Mathis did poorly on a field sobriety test and officers determined Mathis was impaired.

TMZ's report notes that the law allows officers to arrest someone based on something other than a Breathalyzer test.

The 36-year-old Mathis retired from playing following the 2016 season and is the Colts' pass-rush consultant.

Mathis spent his entire 14-year NFL career with the Colts, was named to five Pro Bowls and won one Super Bowl.

The 2003 fifth-round pick out of Alabama A&M is the Colts' all-time leader in sacks and ranks 17th on the all-time NFL list with 123.
