Marcell Ozuna
Marcell Ozuna has landed himself in a puddle after suburban Atlanta police arrested him for DUI of alcohol. He was headed towards an afterparty after a victory celebration on Friday morning, crack of dawn. Marcell Ozuna was busted on charges of driving under the influence and failure to maintain his lane for which he handed over a Major League Baseball ID card, along with his driver’s license.
“Sorry, sorry, I’m Ozuna from the Braves,” said Marcell Ozuna as he gave his identity cards to the officer. According to Gwinnett County jail records, Ozuna was booked at 4:39 a.m. ET and released at 8:12 a.m. Norcross Police arrested the Braves outfielder after he allegedly failed to maintain his lane on Beaver Ruin Road.
The Braves issued the following statement: “The Atlanta Braves are aware of Marcell Ozuna’s arrest this morning and are still gathering all the facts pertaining to the incident. Our organization takes these matters very seriously and are obviously disappointed by the situation. As this is a legal matter, we will have no further comment until the process is complete.”

“I disappointed my team and I disappointed my family,” Marcell Ozuna said. “I don’t have anything to say more. It’s a legal matter.” This was the second arrest in as many years for Ozuna. He was arrested on May 29, 2021, on charges of aggravated assault by strangulation and battery after police officers said they witnessed him attacking his wife.
The police report filed stated, “I detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage from within the vehicle in addition to Mr. Marcell Ozuna exhibiting red/watery eyes. I informed Mr. Ozuna of the reason for the traffic stop to which he again apologized to me and produced an insurance card. I asked Mr. Ozuna what he was doing in Norcross, and he replied with ‘the party.’ I later found out Mr. Ozuna was on his way to a nearby after-hours night club,”

“What have you been drinking? Beer?” the officer asked Ozuna. “How many?”, “Three, four,” Ozuna said. “If I’m drunk, I don’t drive,” Ozuna told the officer on the video. Police put him through a field sobriety test but noted that the Braves player was confused at times. “Am I going to go like this?” Ozuna asked the officer. “OK, let me tell you the instructions one more time,” the officer said.
