Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving on Friday evening.

"I am deeply sorry for my actions and take full responsibility for them," Lewand said in the statement released by the Lions. "As a person in active recovery, I am committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure nothing like this ever happens again."

Lions owner William Clay Ford Sr. said the following early Sunday evening.

"As he continues to seek professional assistance for this problem, the Lions will support and help him in any way possible," Ford said according to John Niyo of the Detroit News. "I continue to have full confidence that Tom will positively lead our organization as he has since assuming his current role of team president. He has all my support."

Lewand is subject to fine and/or suspension under the NFL's personal conduct policy.
