Former Ohio State Offensive Lineman Kirk Barton Sentenced to At Least Five Years in Prison for Fatal Dublin Car Crash
Former Ohio State offensive lineman Kirk Barton will serve at least five years in prison for killing a 24-year-old in a high-speed, wrong-way car crash last summer.
Barton pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated vehicular homicide in Franklin County Common Pleas Court on Wednesday. As part of a plea deal, prosecutors dropped three additional charges, including a second count of aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of operating a vehicle while impaired. The presiding judge also ordered that Barton’s driver’s license be permanently suspended.
Court records show Barton had prior traffic violations, including an OVI charge in 2010 that was dismissed and a 2017 OVI that was reduced to reckless operation. The latter resulted in a fine and a 180-day license suspension.
