The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have parted ways with director of player development Isaiah Harris following his DUI arrest.
Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht released the following statement Thursday:
"Every member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is held to a high standard. This type of incident, particularly for someone whose primary responsibilities are to mentor and develop our players off the field, cannot be tolerated. Due to the nature of his position and the expectations placed on our staff, we made the organizational decision to part ways with Isaiah."
Harris, who followed Lovie Smith from Chicago to Tampa this year as the Bucs' director of player development, was arrested early Thursday morning on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence.
The 35-year-old Harris refused to have his blood-alcohol content tested after being stopped by the Tampa Police Department at 2:06 a.m. Thursday in north Tampa. He was booked at 4:35 a.m. and released at 11:06 a.m. on a $500 bond.
