Patriots' Duron Harmon denied entry to Costa Rica for marijuana possession

New England Patriots player Duron Harmon was arrested in Costa Rica after allegedly trying to enter the country with marijuana in his suitcase.

According to La Nación, the 27-year-old was arrested Friday afternoon when officials found 58 grams of marijuana hiding in a can in his suitcase.

Harmon was reportedly denied entry into the country. He is now back in the U.S., according to the Patriots:

"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.  At this time, we have no further update."

Late Saturday night, Harmon posted on Instagram apologizing for his actions.

"I would like to extend my deepest regrets and sincerest apologies to Patriots fans, my teammates, my coaches, the Krafts and the NFL," the safety said. "Friday does not represent who I am or the person I strive to be."
