INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts running back Kenton Keith has pleaded not guilty to criminal trespassing for allegedly refusing to leave a nightclub parking lot that was being cleared by police.

Keith, dressed in a black shirt and khaki pants, made his initial court hearing Wednesday. Marion County Judge Rebekah Pierson-Treacy set a pretrial date of May 14 and gave Keith permission to travel outside the state. He is out of jail on his own recognizance.

Keith no longer faces charges of disorderly conduct, resisting law enforcement, public intoxication and contributing to the delinquency of a minor on which he was arrested early Sunday, said Matthew Symons, a spokesman for the Marion County prosecutor's office.

Keith's attorney, James Voyles, said after the hearing that he was happy there was only one misdemeanor charge against his client.

Officers working security tried to clear a crowd from the parking lot of the Cloud 9 club in Indianapolis 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.

Keith kept saying, "I'm a Colts player, I'm a Colts player," the report said.

Last season was Keith's first with the Colts after playing in the Canadian Football League. He ran for 533 yards and scored four touchdowns, backing up Joseph Addai.
