Kenton Keith, a nice backup running back for the Colts last season, apparently doesn’t know when to leave a parking lot. He also was slow to learn that the “I’m a football player” defense doesn’t really work anymore. What time is it? Time to party. Not anymore. From the AP (our bold, as usual):

Colts running back Kenton Keith was out of jail Monday after being arrested for refusing to leave a nightclub parking lot and yelling at officers that he was a Colts player who had done nothing wrong, police said.

Officers working security tried to clear a crowd from the parking lot of the Cloud 9 club after it closed at 3 a.m. Sunday. The 27-year-old Keith and several others refused to leave and were laughing, dancing and joking, police said.

Police eventually ordered them to put their hands on a vehicle, but Keith refused and took out a cell phone to record the incident, according to an Indianapolis police report. He kept saying, “I’m a Colts player, I’m a Colts player,” the report said. Police handcuffed him when he refused to put his hands behind his back and he was taken to jail, police said.

We’re a little light on our Kenton Keith background knowledge, so at this point we’ll turn things over to KentonKeith.com (photo from there, obviously). Here is an excerpt from the most recent “Ask KK” section, in which fans write in and he gives really short answers. From April 15, precious few days before the incident in question:

From Nick Anderson: How do you like playing for the colts and going into the new stadium?

It’s cool. I actually like the old stadium, but i haven’t been in the new one, so who knows - KK

From Jack Reeves: Kenton, how long is your contract with the Colts, do you want to goto another team where you could be the full time starter?Three years. and yes that would be nice. - KK

From Alex J. Smith: KK, if you are in SK for the winter, you can train like Rocky 4 highstepping thru the deep snowbanks!!

What up Alex - KK

Seems like he wouldn’t mind leaving Indy. He might have punched his ticket.
