Reserve quarterback for Buckeyes is arrested

Antonio Henton, Ohio State’s third-team quarterback, was arrested and charged with soliciting a prostitute.

Henton, 20, entered a not guilty plea Tuesday in Franklin County Municipal Court to the misdemeanor charge. Lara Baker, chief prosecutor in the city’s attorney’s office, says the soliciting charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and $1,000 fine but generally results in a small fine.

Henton, a redshirt freshman, was arrested by Columbus police Monday night near campus. Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel said Henton would not travel to Minnesota for Saturday’s game.

Oklahoma defensive end John Williams had surgery to repair a torn Achilles’ tendon and will miss the rest of the season. Williams started three of No. 3 Oklahoma’s first four games. . . . Texas Christian defensive end Tommy Blake will miss at least the next two games on medical leave.
