"The shame, guilt, and embarrassment I have felt over the past few days and continue to feel is something I would never wish upon anybody."
"Due to the feeling of shame and guilt for misrepresenting our athletics department and specifically my football team, I have found it extremely difficult to be around my teammates the past few days. I feel as though I have failed them and let them down on many levels, so to all of my coaches and brothers, I am sorry for not being the leader you know I am."
"To my parents and brother, I am extremely sorry for bringing this embarrassment to the Mayfield name."
"I promise nothing like this mistake will ever happen again, I will make you all proud, and I will forever represent you win the way that you all deserve."
"Lastly, but definitely not least, to all of the Sooner fans around the world… I know I have brought shame to the university that we love."
"I know that this adversity is directly caused by my own actions and I have nobody to blame but myself, but I will own up to it, look it in the face, and I will be a better person in the long run.
"I will earn your respect back and prove that I can handle myself in every situation, on and off the field. With much love and regret, Baker Mayfield."
He's due back in court in April.

He also looked at all the responding officers and told each one individually, "You're a bitch."
One of the cops told Parry he was done talking with him, to which the NFL player responded, "That's what the f**k I thought, bitch -- you have nothing on me."
Parry was asked how much he drank that night and responded, "A lot" and "more than I should have."
Cops say he was so hammered, he was dry heaving at the jail and needed a puke trash can ... just in case.
One last note, cops say Parry is so big they struggled to handcuff him and ultimately needed LEG IRONS to secure his wrists.
Parry was booked for several crimes including robbery, theft, resisting arrest, DUI and more.
