Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman David Parry was arrested over the weekend in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Parry, 24, was arrested just after 2:30 a.m. Saturday at an apartment complex in the 6900 block of East Osborn Road in Scottsdale after someone called 911 regarding an assault and auto theft, according to Scottsdale police.

The victim told officers he had picked up three people from a downtown bar in his "transportation cart" — a street-legal golf cart police say was used as a taxi — and had dropped two of them off. When he got out of the cart to collect payment, the victim told police the third person, later identified as Parry, hit him on the head and left the scene in the cart.

Police were later called to a hit and run collision nearby, where responding officers found the golf cart crashed into a gate. Officers later found Parry on the sidewalk, apparently drunk, according to police.

He was arrested on suspicion of robbery, auto theft, criminal damage, resisting arrest and driving under the influence, according to police.

The 6-foot-2, 300-pound lineman was a fifth round draft pick for the Colts in 2015. In his first two seasons with the team, he has started every game and has been in on 49 tackles, including four sacks.

"We are aware of the reports and are gathering more information," the Colts said Monday night.
