ATLANTA -- Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna reached a plea agreement following his 2022 arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Ozuna entered a no contest plea and paid a $1,000 fine, according to Norcross, Georgia Municipal Court records.
Ozuna was arrested on Aug. 19, 2022, by a Norcross Police officer in metro Atlanta and booked into the Gwinnett County jail. He was charged with DUI and failure to maintain lane and was released on $1,830 bond.
According to the incident report, the arresting officer reached speeds of nearly 90 mph to catch up with Ozuna on a road with a speed limit of 35 mph. Ozuna, however, was not charged with speeding.
"I disappointed my team," Ozuna told reporters in August 2022. "I disappointed my family. I don't have anything to say more. It's a legal matter."
Ozuna's legal woes added to the response from Atlanta fans when he struggled at the plate early this season. Ozuna, the starting designated hitter in Tuesday night's game against the Boston Red Sox, has heard frequent boos from home fans.
Ozuna entered Tuesday night's game hitting only .146 though he has enjoyed a recent power surge and has six home runs, including four in his last five games.
