Star report

Excerpts from the Carmel Police Department case reports on the March 16 traffic stop and arrest of Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay:

• I observed the vehicle come to a complete stop on W. Main Street for no apparent reason. ... As I was approaching the vehicle it began to slowly move east bound and came to another complete stop in the lane of travel for no apparent reason. ... I asked him if he knew why I had pulled him over. Irsay advised that he was trying to find his house and gets confused with what road it is located on.

• I asked Irsay to exit the vehicle and he did. We walked to the back of his vehicle at which point I began to explain the instructions for the horizontal gaze nystagmus test. During the instruction phase, Irsay was not able to stand with his feet together. Irsay continuously fell off balance to the point that Officer Thomas had to remain very close to Irsay to ensure he did not fall. ... Concerned for Irsay's safety I determined that he was not able to complete the 9 step walk and turn, as he could barely stand up without Officer Thomas and I supporting him.

• Irsay was offered a blood draw to which he refused. Irsay was reminded of Indiana implied consent and confirmed that he refused to voluntarily allow a blood draw. I then contacted headquarters and requested the on call prosecutor call my cell phone. ... I advised him of the information and sent him a completed affidavit for probable cause requesting a warrant to draw Irsay's blood. I received the warrant after it had been signed by Judge Hughes.

• I was contacted by Sergeant Dunlap who advised that during the vehicle inventory prior to it being towed, he and Officer Thomas had recovered numerous prescription medication bottles containing pills. ... Officer Thomas advised that during the vehicle inventory he had also recovered $29,029 in cash.

• Inside the vehicle was a metal briefcase containing a great deal of items. Among those items was a large amount of loose US currency. ... In the briefcase were ... pill bottles with various color and kinds of pills. Located on the floorboard of the passenger seat were two bags. Inside the bags were ... pill bottles with an assortment of pills.
