Charges against Colts TE Andrew Ogletree dropped

Colts tight end Andrew Ogletree was arrested on domestic battery charges in December. Those charges were dropped on Tuesday, however.

Ogletree faced the charges of domestic violence committed in the presence of a child less than 16 years old and domestic battery resulting in moderate bodily injury. Both represented Level 6 felonies, but court records confirm his case has ended. Both charges were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be re-filed.

The state of Indiana’s motion to dismiss notes that “subsequent interviews with all parties involved revealed information and evidence not provided to law enforcement on the night of the alleged incident. The evidence is insufficient to prosecute this case” (h/t ESPN’s Stephen Holder).

Ogletree was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list after the arrest was made. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network notes the league is still investigating the matter. As a result, the 25-year-old remains on the exempt list for now.

Indianapolis drafted Ogletree in the sixth round of the 2022 draft, but because of an ACL tear, it was not until this past season that he made his debut. He made 12 appearances (including nine starts) in 2023, recording 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns on nine catches. Two years remain on his rookie contract.
