A DWI = 1 game suspension at tOSU
- Thread starter MGSA99
- Start date
First, it was OVI, which was a misdemeanor citation and not an arrest. Important distinction as an arrest would have carried a mandatory two game suspension.
And, it seems to be a pretty standard result around the country: http://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-...rretts-suspension-a-look-at-precedent-set-for
He has since been reinstated by coach Kyle Flood.

Barnwell -- a starter the previous four games -- was suspended for last week's Temple game.
He has since been reinstated by coach Kyle Flood.

That one game suspension wasn't the only punishment JT received.
The additional punishment might not seem like much, but it does show
Barnett isn't getting away with just a one game suspension and might make it harder to go pro early because of not getting financial aid for summer courses so he can gain credits to help leave early

>In addition to a one-game suspension, Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett will also lose his scholarship for a term as part of his discipline for his arrest during the bye week, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer said Monday.<

We've been told for months that "big boy schools don't suspend their stars." Since those comments were made (by several, can't remember names, but quite often...) there has been suspension-after-suspension from "big boy" schools for their "stars" and non-stars alike.
Check out these letters to the editor of the Columbus Dispatch regarding the suspension. Hilarious.

I'm curious about how many hundreds or thousands of fake ID's are on RU's campus right now.
And, it seems to be a pretty standard result around the country:
This. And we're talking about a kid that has no issues in the past. He screwed up and realizes the mistake and was devastated afterwards. Now, if another incident like this happens, boot his butt from the program.

Im not sure how the state of Ohio works with this, but in NJ DWI is not even a crime, only a standard traffic citation.
Actually, looking into it, it looks like there's a lot of bad information floating around regarding DUI, DWI, OVI, etc.
OVI is the blanket term for all incidents involving impaired driving in Ohio. It comes down to number of offenses and blood alcohol level to determine the severity. JT received: 180 day license suspension, 3 day alcohol education program and $400 fine on a first time offense with BAC between 0.08% and 0.17%.
Administrative Penalties
Under ALS laws your license can be suspended by law enforcement on behalf of the BMV if you fail or refuse a chemical test. The suspension periods are different depending on whether you refused a test or failed a test and were charged with a OVI or OVAUC:
OVI In addition to the suspension you will have a minimum of 6 points applied to your license.

- 3rd offense (within 6 years) driver's license suspension: 2 years.
- 4th offense (within 6 years) driver's license suspension: 3 years.
Criminal Penalties
If you are found guilty of an OVI offense you can face jail time, heavy fines, court ordered substance assessment and extended license suspension. For each OVI offense within a period of 6 years the penalties increase dramatically.
