Report: Saints All-Pro WR/KR Deonte Harris Arrested In July

DEONTE HARRIS' ARREST DETAILS

All-Pro wide receiver and kick return specialist Deonte Harris was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, per a report from Nick Underhill.

The Advocate's Amie Just obtained details from court records on Harris' arrest:  

• Driving vehicle under influence of alcohol
• Exceeding posted maximum speed: 77 in a 55 
• Negligent driving
• Reckless driving
• Failure to obey traffic control device instructions

CBA ON DUI OFFENSES

Under the NFL and NFLPA CBA, a player charged with a DUI could face up to a two-game suspension for a first offense.

Harris is competing for more playing time at wide receiver this season. In Wednesday's press conferences, GM Mickey Loomis and Sean Payton confirmed All-Pro WR Michael Thomas would be out for an undetermined amount of time to start the beginning of the 2021 NFL regular season.

If the Saints were to lose Harris for 1 or 2 games to a suspension, the Saints would be without a key offensive and special teams player.

New Orleans' training camp officially began Tuesday, July 27. Open practice to the public is scheduled for Friday, July 30.
