(WHDH) — New England Patriots star Duron Harmon was sent home from a trip to Costa Rica on Friday.
Police say Harmon was denied entry to the country when customs officials detected drugs on him.
The 27-year-old was taken into custody at the airport and was then sent back to the U.S.
Costa Rican officials say 58 grams of marijuana were found inside of his luggage, as well as three pipes with marijuana oil. The four glass containers held more than four grams of compressed marijuana.
The New England Patriots released a statement that read, “We are aware of the situation involving Duron Harmon Friday night in Costa Rica. He has since returned to the U.S. and we are seeking to gain more information.”
Harmon released an apology on Instagram to the Patriots, his friends and family:
