TMZ Sports released the video of Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback J.T. Barrett's arrest, in which he pleads with officers to give him special treatment.
"I'm the QB of Ohio State," Barrett can be heard telling cops. "There's nothing you can do?"
Barrett was arrested in the early morning hours on Oct. 31 after officers pulled him over when he tried to avoid an OVI checkpoint. He subsequently plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge, which resulted in him having his driver's license suspended for 180 days, a $400 fine, and must complete a three-day alcohol education program by Feb. 15.
Head coach Urban Meyer suspended Barrett for Ohio State's game against Minnesota on Nov. 7, which the Buckeyes won 28-14. Barrett returned to the team this week and will start Saturday against Illinois. He is still a captain of the team.
Barrett, the reigning Big Ten Player Of The Year, lost his starting job to Cardale Jones at the start of the season, but regained it after Ohio State's 38-10 win over Penn State on Oct. 17. He has passed for 472 yards and seven touchdowns this year while rushing for 329 yards and seven more touchdowns.
