It’s a story that’s created outrage on social media.

Mark Garrett, 23, charged with three counts of intoxication manslaughter, was allegedly spotted drinking at Hooters and a local bar over the weekend.

Almost a month ago, police said Garrett got behind the wheel drunk and was speeding before he crashed into the back of a van off Yukon and Tobosa in Odessa.

All three people inside the van died.

On Tuesday, Garrett called CBS 7 News to share his reaction to the allegations that he was in public at a bar.

It’s important to note that as he's out on bail, Garrett is allowed to drink alcohol as long as he doesn’t get behind the wheel, according to an Odessa judge.

However, Garrett claims he wasn’t drinking this past weekend and says he never meant for any of this to happen.

“No matter what, whatever I have to do, I will make them understand that it was not meaningful and it was not my intention of ever doing anything like that,” Garrett explained. “I’m sure everybody’s drunken and drove.”

It’s a bold statement from Garrett, considering three people were killed, because of a decision he says he wishes he could take back.

“I’m so sorry for what happened, I would never mean to do that,” said Garrett.

On the night of June 22, Garrett says he spent a total of $16 at a bar.

Sometime later he got in his car to drive home, but before he could pull into his driveway, he crashed into the back of an ice cream truck killing the three passengers inside.

Fast forward to this past weekend, photos and videos of Garrett began to appear on Facebook -- people outraged that they allegedly saw him drinking again at a local bar and then Hooters.

“I’m sorry, what they think is wrong,” said Garrett. “I just went to go pick up some food, that’s it, and talk to a friend that hasn’t seen me. I’ve been in the house for three months.”

Garrett says he wishes the hate and threats that he and his family have been receiving would all stop.

“I’m really sorry for what I did, I mean I can’t take it back, I can only move forward and that’s what I’ve been trying to do,” said Garrett. “I’ve been getting counseling … my pastor knows me personally since I was in sixth grade. I’m not a bad person like they’re saying I am.”

The case is still on going and has yet to reach District Attorney Bobby Bland’s desk.

As for his blood alcohol content level from the night of the crash, investigators say it could be weeks before those results come back.
