New Orleans Saints receiver and return specialist Deonte Harris was arrested on drunken driving charges last month, but he’s tired of being criticized for it.

Harris was arrested in Towson, Md. On July 16 on suspicion of driving under the influence. He also received several citations, including careless driving, reckless driving, failing to follow instructions from the traffic control device and exceeding the speed limit. Harris took to the incident on Twitter on Sunday. He said he took the right steps and he wouldn’t feel bad about it anymore.

I quit the DUI last month took the appropriate action needed and hey you can’t make me feel bad anymore I’m at peace with the situation

I don’t owe you anything, my loved ones are happy and live life and so am I.

The NFL hasn’t announced any disciplinary action against Harris, but he’s probably bracing for a two-game suspension. This is the standard punishment for a player’s first DUI offense.

Harris was named Pro Bowler and All-Pro in his rookie season two years ago after leading the NFL punt returns, combined returns and punt return yards. He missed some time due to an injury last year.
