- Anthony Richardson Sr. was pulled over in Carmel, Indiana, on Oct. 12 over his car’s registration, after a patrol officer said he smelled marijuana inside the vehicle.
- Richardson admitted he had smoked marijuana in the vehicle to avoid smoking it at home around his children.
- Richardson’s Dodge Charger was searched after he was handcuffed, and officers found a small amount of marijuana and 500 milligram THC-infused gummies in the glove compartment; police confiscated both items.
- Richardson was allowed to leave without being arrested, but received a citation for expired registration and a summons for marijuana possession.
- Hamilton County prosecutor’s office officially filed the misdemeanor charge on Monday, with the case currently scheduled for a bench trial on Jan. 4.
- Colts said they were aware of the situation and were gathering additional information, while declining to offer further comment.
Why it matters: Richardson now faces formal prosecution and a Jan. 4 court date, while the Colts have limited their public response to gathering information. The filing advances the possession summons from the traffic stop into a misdemeanor case scheduled for bench trial, and his separate expired-registration citation remains part of that stop’s outcome.
