  On March 16, 2014, Irsay was arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence and drug possession in Carmel, Indiana. Irsay had multiple bottles of prescription medication and more than $29,000 in cash in his car at the time of his arrest, with prosecutors claiming that Irsay tested positive for oxycodone and hydrocodone in his system. Multiple felony charges were subsequently pleaded down to a pair of misdemeanors.
  
  Irsay's daughter, Carlie, took over the day-to-day operations of the Colts while he was in rehab. On September 2, 2014, shortly after pleading guilty to operating while intoxicated and being sentenced to one year of probation, Irsay was suspended by the NFL for six games and fined $500,000. In a 2023 interview on Real Sports, Irsay claimed he had been arrested because "I am prejudiced against because I’m a rich, white billionaire."
  
  In a report released by TMZ in January 2024, and repeated and partially verified by other news outlets, Irsay was found unresponsive and struggling to breathe at home and was taken to the hospital on December 8, 2023. He received a dose of Narcan, a medicine that reverses an opioid overdose.
