The 34-year-old veteran, who signed a one-year contract with the Colts this past August, was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated and operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent to .15 or more. Following the filing of these charges, Allen posted a $500 cash bond on Tuesday.
