    Kirk Barton, a former Ohio State Buckeyes captain, could be facing jail time after a car crash that left one person dead. He was officially charged with a second-degree felony count of aggravated vehicular homicide as the result of operating a vehicle under the influence, per NBC 4.

    Police in Dublin, Ohio, say that Barton is suspected of driving “at a high rate of speed” before crashing his Ford F150 Raptor pickup truck into another car on Saturday morning. The driver of the car, 24-year-old Ethan Wence Perry, was pronounced dead at the scene. Court documents show that Barton was allegedly driving on the wrong side of the road before the crash and had slurred speech as well as an odor of alcohol on his breath when speaking to police.

    According to the police report, Barton could not answer basic questions and admitted to drinking alcohol prior to getting into the vehicle. Barton was briefly hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and was later taken to Franklin County Jail, as he is awaiting a court hearing on Monday for a felony charge of aggravated vehicular manslaughter.

    What did Kirk Barton do at Ohio State?

    Barton would play right tackle for the Ohio State Buckeyes from 2003 to 2007 and was an All-American in his senior season before being drafted by the Chicago Bears in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He would bounce around the league but only play in one game throughout his career at the professional level.

    Barton would have brief stints with the Bears, Dolphins, 49ers, Bengals, Lions, Broncos, and Panthers throughout his career.
