Eleven Warriors:
"According to two sources within the Columbus Police Department, Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett was arrested for operating a motor vehicle while impaired (OVI) early Saturday morning near campus.
Barrett was arrested near High and Tompkins, just north of Campus after policed 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.
The quarterback was released to his teammate, fellow quarterback Cardale Jones, who provided Barrett a ride home.
Ohio State did not respond to a request for comment.
We'll have more on this as it develops."
Pretty crazy. You hate to see this regardless of the situation or circumstances.
Ohio State is on its bye week this week.

Totally illegal, man. Those damned rogue cops strike again. Next thing you know, they'll be catching speeders with radar detectors.

LOL
Uh, yeah. Of course they are legal. Cops would not set them if they were illegal.

Has to be posted somewhere for the general public to see. Old timers that still read the newspaper are the ones to ask.

If I had to guess, I wouldn't think Cardale was the responsible one....

Yeah, can't really believe any cop in the state of Ohio would actually arrest Barrett... or any other Buckeye, for that matter. I mean, heck, any witnesses were probably booing the arrest, so there wouldn't be any problems there...

Is this just like a DUI execpt you are not Driving?
October 31st, 2015 at 9:07 AM ^
October 31st, 2015 at 9:10 AM ^
I think it is impaired, but I am no Lawyer, so I was guessing at what the difference in the 2 offenses were.

but I believe OVI is less severe than DUI. Impaired vs "under the influence."
October 31st, 2015 at 10:19 AM ^
OVI actually stands for "Operating a Vechicle Impaired." It is essentially the same thing as a DUI (Driving Under the Influence). They changed the terminology in Ohio a couple decades ago because they felt "OVI" was a broader term they could apply to people not only motorized vechicles, but also bikes, horse-drawn carriages, and other modes of transportation while impaired.
So... no, an OVI is not "more severe" than a DUI. The only thing to differentiate the severity of the intoxication is the on-field BrAC OR the lab-tested BAC they get back from the blood smaple they get once he was arrested. The report said Barrett was "slightly over" the legal limit of Ohio, which I'm assuming is 0.08. I'm curious to see if the blood BAC is the same, or if it will actually come back under the limit because it has been shown to be more accurate, and varies greatly from the BrAC.

A lot of fraternities and organizations have programs like safe rides, I don't understand why major football teams do not.
I guess maybe they do and the players are afraid to use them because they don't want the coach knowing they were out drinking?

will "self-report" a minor violation and play him vs. Minnesota. They will pound the Gophers, 58-13.
October 31st, 2015 at 9:09 AM ^
I'm willing to put money down nothing will come of this and if there is something handed down, it will not be appropriate.
