Mike Perry has issued an apology after he was arrested for drunk driving in Florida.
Perry was arrested by the Clermont Police Department on Oct. 12 at 1:04 a.m. local time.

The maximum penalty is up to 60 days in jail and a fine up to $500.

“I am writing this to express my deepest apologies for the inappropriate and disrespectful language I used towards members of the Clermont police department,” Mike Perry wrote. “I understand that my words were hurtful and offensive. And, I sincerely regret my actions. I recognize the important and often difficult work that law enforcement officers do to keep our community safe, and I truly respect the dedication and sacrifice that comes with the job.
“My behavior was inexcusable, and I take full responsibility for my actions,” Perry added. “Please know that this incident does not reflect how I truly feel about the [Police Department/Officers], and I will make every effort to ensure this type of behavior never happens again. I hope you can accept my apology as sincere, and I will be more mindful and respectful in the future. Thank you for your time and consideration.”
Mike Perry had refused to take a sobriety test after he denied consuming alcohol. The police officer then told Perry “his speech sounded slow,” to which ‘Platinum’ responded saying the officer’s “speech was fast.”
