APPLETON — Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett was arrested after a disturbance early today at a downtown Appleton tavern, police said.


According to a police statement, Barnett was involved in a physical altercation about 2 a.m. at the nightclub known as Wet, 344 W. College Ave. He was subsequently arrested for battery and was confined to the Outagamie County Jail a few blocks away.

He was released later and appeared this afternoon at Packers teammate Brett Favre’s annual charity softball game, held at Fox Cities Stadium in Grand Chute. He was not immediately available for comment.

The Packers selected Barnett, 26, out of Oregon State in the first round of the 2003 draft. He is in his fifth season with the team.

Police asked that anyone with information about the nightclub incident contact the department at (920) 832-5500.

ouch! not good....bring on the suspension.

Depending on the seriousness of the case, there may or may not be a suspension. The league has been cracking down on repeat offenders, of which I do not believe Barnett is one.

[Mazzin]

If he gets suspended, but that jackass Mike Vick Dosen't get suspended...I'll be one pissed off biatch!

This nightclub, Wet is known for having problems, arrests, fights, etc. I thought they were getting their liquor license taken away, but I guess not.

What is he doing at a bar at that time of day anyway? It is too risky. To many bad things happen late at night. Go home early or take your party someplace else.
