There's no way to prove that without field sobriety testing.  

Unless they have body cam footage of him asleep or slumped over the wheel, it's getting dismissed.

Did he refuse field sobriety testing? Did officers get a warrant for his blood?

I have a similar reaction to many here between this and the football forum.
 

If he were speeding, but they didn’t detect alcohol, they must have detected weed scent in the car for having probable cause to search, right? You would think with a pen he’d know to have some windows open as a pen doesn’t smell anywhere near as bad as sparked flower. Just dumb in many ways.

Would he had to have failed a field sobriety test for them to take him in for DWI with a pen on him vs just charging with possession? Or is the speeding and having it on his possession enough for DWI? If he failed a field sobriety test, charge seems legitimate regardless of substance of cause. 

I’m guessing there were driving facts other than speeding. In fact, I haven’t seen the “speeding” allegation other than on this board, but you definitely need more than speeding and THC for DWI. You’d want a blood draw, driving facts that suggest impairment and failed SFSTs. I don’t know how much of that was present. There will be dash camera footage for driving facts and body camera of the standardized field sobriety tests (SFSTs).
 

Either way, I expect him to get a good lawyer and end up pleading it down to an obstruction of the roadway or some sort of pre-trial intervention.

Speeding was in the news article. Down W 6th at 2am.

Regardless of the charges, he was in jail from 3am to 7:30 pm or thereabouts. That's going to leave a mark. 

You can beat the time but you can't beat the ride. 

That's a long time. Did he get his protein intake?

I'm assuming the pen was (for now, legal) Delta 9 THC, and not marijuana, as possession of marijuana oil in concentrate in any amount is a felony. He still could get a ticket for underage possession of a controlled substance, or something similar, as you have to be 21 to buy that shit. I'm not a lawyer. Either way, the DUI smells like bullshit.

Ehhh, just suspend him for OSU game (which he wasn’t going to play in anyway) and make him run some extra laps after practice for a couple weeks.

Nah. If he blew a 0.0, and was just speeding with a legal vape pen, it sounds like he got railroaded by a shitty cop. Not ideal judgment, but to me this is a big fucking nothingburger. And as always:

fuck the police GIF

Exactly. If it were a true thc vape pen, best believe he'd be hit with the felony. And I don't see how one would speed on 6th on the weekend, either. Copper probably saw him (black), saw him hitting the pen, then ran him through the gamut.

If ever a username fit, this one is spot on…

Really? That's one of those 'vape' thingies? Sweater gawd I thought it was a gold felt tip pen when it caught ny eye on the sidewalk. I love writing utensils, that's a fact. Did I tell you about that Mont Blanc pen I found at the bank when I went to cash my NIL check? Need to find some cartridges for that thing, ink cartridges, you know.
