COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The police officer calls him Joe.
Throughout the interactions between Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett and the officer who arrested him on a drunken-driving charge two weeks ago, the quarterback was addressed by his first name of Joe.
Joe provided a Texas drivers license and had to explain that he lived in Columbus. Joe took two field sobriety tests, answered questions about whether he had anything to drink (Joe at first said he had nothing to drink) and Ohio State football was never mentioned. It wasn't until Joe was placed under arrest after a breathalyzer test, which records show had the 20-year-old old at 0.
