The JT Barrett arrest video for drunk driving was released by TMZ today. Barrett, the QB for Ohio State University was pulled out of an upcoming drunk driving checkpoint on Halloween night. Unsurprisingly, Barrett’s attempt to avoid the checkpoint was actually what drew the police’s attention to him in the first place.
After the police administered a host of field sobriety tests, which Barrett actually passed pretty well, the officer still wasn’t convinced. The officer still insists that he smelled booze on JT’s breath, even though the student athlete denied having a drop. That’s when JT tries to pull the ace out of his sleeve, “I’m the quarterback of Ohio State … officer, there’s nothing you can do?”

The fact that JT Barrett was arrested isn’t breaking news, he actually pled guilty to the DUI earlier this week.

It’s just that the details surrounding the arrest weren’t exactly clear. Especially the fact that Cardale Jones was going to be the one to pick him up.
As far as his punishment at Ohio State University went, JT had to forego his financial aid for the Summer 2016 term and was suspended from playing for one game. Legally, his driver’s license will be suspended for 180 days.
