New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris allegedly had a .246 BAC breathalyzer reading -- more than three times the legal limit of 0.08% -- after his DUI arrest last month in Maryland.
The officer who arrested Harris said that they saw him swerving across three lanes of traffic and driving more than 20 mph over the speed limit in a Mercedes-Benz C300 just outside of Baltimore at 1:30 a.m. on July 16, nola.com reported.
Harris allegedly handed the officer his credit card instead of his driver’s license. The officer wrote in the report that alcohol was"emitting from breath and person" and that Harris' eyes were"bloodshot and glassy," according to nola.com. Harris admitted to having"two to three" tequila-based cocktails and he said that he was drinking since 4 p.m., the report stated. He reportedly failed three field sobriety tests and displayed 16 out of 18 clues police use to determine if someone is driving under the influence.Per nola.
A first-time All-Pro as a punt returner in 2019, Harris is entering his third season with the Saints.Dan Canova is a Sports Reporter for Fox News. Follow him on Twitter
