Colts tight end Andrew Ogletree was arrested Friday in Hendricks County, Indiana, less than an hour from team facilities, and is facing charges of domestic violence and possible team and NFL discipline, according to state records.
Ogletree, a 2022 sixth-round pick out of Youngstown State, had not yet been released from prison as of Friday evening, with the Colts acknowledging “disturbing allegations” against the 25-year-old in a team statement. The NFL has now placed the tight end on the Commissioner's Exempt List bans Ogletree from practicing or participating in games during the list.
Avon, Indiana police said Ogletree's arrest, which occurred late Friday afternoon, was the result of an alleged incident on Tuesday in which officers were sent to resolve an apparent domestic dispute between Ogletree and a woman. The latter told police that she was “slapped in the body” by Ogletree during an argument and was later taken to a hospital, according to ESPN.
Ogletree now faces two level six felonies, each carrying a maximum penalty of two and a half years in prison.
The second-year veteran, a native of Dayton, Ohio, missed his entire rookie season with a torn ACL. But in 2023, he was more involved, appearing in 12 games and technically starting nine games as part of a TE group that included Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox. He caught nine passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns.
