Atlanta Falcons running back Michael Turner apologized on Wednesday for his recent arrest. Turner was arrested early Tuesday morning and charged with driving under the influence and speeding when a Gwinnett County officer clocked his 2012 Audi going 97 mph in a 65-mph zone on I-85. The report states Turner told the officer he consumed about five shots at an Atlanta strip club. Despite the arrest, Turner plans to play this Sunday against San Diego.
