INDIANAPOLIS — Colts tight end Drew Ogletree was arrested Friday and charged with domestic battery committed in physical presence of a child less than 16, knowing child present and might be able to see/hear, according to Hendricks County Jail records.
The charge is a level 6 felony.
Ogletree was also charged with domestic battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, according to Indiana records.
Ogletree was booked at 3:42 p.m. on Friday, according to jail records, hours after the Colts held practice Friday in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Raiders.
Avon Police Department officers were dispatched to a domestic disturbance on Dec. 26, according to a probable cause affidavit, and found a female victim in pain and unable to move. The victim was transported to a local hospital to have injuries assessed.

The victim attempted to "smack" Ogletree, but did not hit him, according to the accounts of both parties in the probable cause affidavit. The victim told police that Ogletree "body slammed" her to the ground; Ogletree told police he pushed the victim to the ground.
The police took photographs at the hospital of swelling on the victim's back.
No bond has been posted, according to Hendricks County Jail records.
The Colts released the following statement: "We are aware of the disturbing allegations involving Drew Ogletree. The team takes these matters seriously. We have notified the NFL and are in the process of gathering more information. We will have no further comment at this time."
Under the NFL's personal conduct policy, teams and players are required to report any potential violation of the policy to NFL security or the legal staff of the NFL's management council.
The NFL will handle any further discipline for Ogletree under that policy. The league will conduct an investigation into the matter, a separate investigation from those conducted by law enforcement.
Under the NFL's personal conduct policy, Ogletree could be placed on the Commissioner Exempt List because his charges are both a crime of violence and a felony, the two formal charges specifically outlined by the personal conduct policy. If Ogletree is placed on the Commissioner Exempt List, he would not be able to practice or attend games, although he would still be paid while the NFL investigates the matter.
Once the investigation is completed, the NFL issues a disciplinary decision, and discipline may be issued even if a player is not found guilty in a court of law.
The second-year tight end, a sixth-round draft pick in 2022, has played in 12 of 15 games for Indianapolis this season, playing 337 snaps for the Colts, primarily as a blocker, although he does have nine catches for 147 yards and two touchdowns.
