Patriots safety Duron Harmon was denied entry into Costa Rica after attempting to bring marijuana into the country, according to Costa Rican newspaper La Nacion. Harmon was briefly detained before being sent back to the United States. 
The 27-year-old defensive back attempted to bring in 58 grams of marijuana inside a can of iced tea, three pipes with cannabis oil, a THC candy and four containers with compressed marijuana, weighing 4.3 grams. The Patriots issued a statement Saturday morning regarding the incident, via Ben Volin of the Boston Globe (on Twitter):
“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.”
Harmon (via Instagram) issued an apology Saturday night.
Volin doesn’t expect the Patriots to release Harmon following the incident but does expect the Patriots or the NFL to step in and hand down some sort of punishment (on Twitter). The league has yet to comment on the incident.
The Patriots took Harmon in the third round of the 2013 draft and he’s missed just one game thus far in his career while making 15 starts. Last season, Harmon tallied a career-high four interceptions and seven pass defenses. Harmon is once again slated to work alongside Patrick Chung and Devin McCourty as a safety in the Patriots’ secondary.
They are athletic just not that smart
History repeats itself.
Again, just another day in the National Felon League.
Haha sweet username to judge felons with…smoke some grass ya square, he isn’t a criminal in many places, only when he crosses imaginary lines
Ok Internet Troll, plus I don’t smoke grass,,,,Total idiot snowflake
Bengals could come up on another nice felon after he’s released
58 grams jeez did he plan on smoking 24/7
If he was there for like a month that’s not a lot, an ounce lasts heavy smokers a couple weeks max. Which I guess means you’re right because heavy smokers really do smoke 24/7. That 4.3 grams of wax, the edible, and the 3 containers of hash oil probably go a long way in making the actual bud last longer. I wish I could read spanish or had time to translate to read the article and see if he was with anyone else, but ~2 ounces, 4.3 grams of wax, etc. indicates it was most likely for personal use and not to redistribute, if anything it would probably only be to share with friends and family.
The stupidity and boldness of these guys never ceases to amaze me.
Justin Blackmon got a year so he should too big time suspension
Blackmon was suspended indefinitely for his second drug offense. As far as we know, this is Harmon’s first offense for drugs (although a more serious drug charge). Wouldn’t be surprised if the suspension was in the 6-10 range, with more games pending on how the investigation and any other federal charges go.
Ayyyy showing off Rutgers proud. Why not just try to go to one of the states where marijuana use is allowed on a recreational basis instead of going out of the country to smuggle it back in?
He was going to,not coming back
Does he not realize marijuana is legal in mass? I guess not
