Indianapolis Colts backup running back Kenton Keith was arrested on Tuesday night and charged with one count of criminal trespassing after he refused to leave a club parking lot that was being cleared by the police.
During the arrest, Keith kept saying that he played for the Colts, as reported by SI.com: Keith will not face the charges of disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement, public intoxication and contributing to the delinquency of a minor on which he was arrested early Sunday, said Matthew Symons, a spokesman for the Marion County prosecutor's office. Officers working security tried to clear a crowd from the parking lot of the Cloud 9 club after it closed at 3 a.m. Sunday. The 27-year-old Keith and several others refused to leave and were laughing, dancing and joking, police said. Police eventually ordered them to put their hands on a vehicle, but Keith refused and took out a cell phone to record the incident, according to an Indianapolis police report. Last season was the first season Keith spent with the Colts as he earned the position to be Joseph Addai’s backup after several years in the CFL.
