Ohio State quarterback suspended after impaired driving charge
Ohio State University's head football coach suspended his starting quarterback J.T. Barrett from the team's next game after the player was charged with driving a vehicle while impaired, the university said on Saturday.
The suspension by head coach Urban Meyer will keep the sophomore out of Ohio State's Nov. 7 game against Minnesota, the school said. Ohio State, ranked the No. 1 team in the country, had no game scheduled this Saturday.
Columbus police stopped Barrett, 20, at a campus area checkpoint and gave him a misdemeanor citation for impaired driving, the school said in a brief statement.
Police told the Columbus Dispatch newspaper that Barrett's blood-alcohol content was .099 when he was stopped. The legal limit for a driver younger than 21 is .02 and .08 for those 21 and older, the newspaper reported.
