According to Indianapolis ABC rTV6, Indianapolis Colts outside linebacker Sio Moore was arrested late Thursday evening for reckless driving on the north side of the city:

"“Police say he was driving northbound on I-65 near Lafayette Road when he was pulled over. According to IMPD, the officer that pulled him over says he was driving at least 100 miles per hour and was weaving in and out of traffic in a reckless manner. Police say he was issued a summons at the scene, which means he did not have to go to jail.”"

The former Oakland Raiders outside linebacker was traded to the Colts during the beginning of this season for a 2016 6th round draft pick.

Moore appeared in 12 games for the Colts this season, recording 13 tackles. The 3rd-year outside linebacker has one year remaining on his contract with the team, having a $744 cap hit in 2016.

While he didn’t make much of a significant impact this past season, he figures to compete for a backup roster spot as a pass rusher next season.

For NFL teams, this is typically the time of the offseason where organizations begin to worry about their players off-the-field, if they’re left with too much time to their own devices.

Without the regimented NFL schedule, many players find themselves getting into trouble.

While reckless driving isn’t exactly a grave offense in this context, hopefully it’s not the start of things to come for Colts players off-the-field this offseason.
