The Ohio State Buckeyes found themselves in the headlines this college football Saturday and it had nothing to do with anything taking place on the field.
Quarterback J.T. Barrett, who just regained his starting spot, was arrested early Saturday morning for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence:
Barrett, 20, was arrested near High and Tompkins, just north of Campus after police noticed the player attempt to avoid an OVI checkpoint in the area. Per CPD sources, Barrett was cooperative and blew into a breathalyzer, registering slightly over Ohio’s legal limit of 0.08 blood-alcohol concentration.
