Allen becomes the third Hoosier to be arrested this offseason.
The university was quick to announce Allen was suspended from all football activities, releasing the following statement Tuesday:
Indiana University Athletics and the IU football program are aware of the arrest of junior defensive back Antonio Allen. Allen has been suspended from all football activities effective immediately. We will continue to gather facts, monitor the legal process, and take further action as the evolving situation warrants.
On Wednesday, the university announced it had dismissed Allen from the football program.
Allen came to Indiana as a four-star member of the 2013 recruiting class. After missing all but seven games in his freshman season due to a torn ACL, Allen was back on the field as a sophomore and was named honorable mention All-Big Ten.
