Colts D-Tackle Arrested... No Charges Filed

Indianapolis Colts Defensive Tackle Darrell Reid was arrested on disorderly conduct and trespassing charges early Sunday after refusing to leave a nightclub's parking lot. According to a police report, Reid, 26, arrived at Club Oxygen about 1:30 a.m. as an off-duty officer was helping clear the nightclub's parking lot because the club was at capacity.

After being asked by the officer to leave the parking lot Reid made several excuses as to why he would not leave ncluding that he knew the owner and should be allowed inside and ""I don't have to because I am a football player with the Indianapolis Colts."

In 2007, he was arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession in his hometown of Freehold, N.J. The officer who responded noticed a strong smell of marijuana and saw a small plastic bag in the open door of Reid's rental car that contained marijuana, police said

(UPDATE): Reid will face no criminal charges, for his confrontation with an off-duty police officer. He was accused of disorderly conduct and trespassing. Marion County prosecutor's office has decided those charges aren’t merited by the evidence, spokesman Mario Massillamany said, in part because Reid’s exchange with police officers occurred on public property.

Reid’s location became key because his car had not fully left the public right-of-way, Massillamany said. “We asked police to do more research,” he said, “and we determined that the location of the incident was on public property, not private.” He also said there was insufficient evidence to file a disorderly conduct charge.
