Nick Barnett (27)
Early in the morning on Sunday, June 17th, 2007,Nick was arrested for battery after an altercation at the Wet Nightclub in Appleton, Wisconsin. According to witnesses, Barnett shoved a woman inside of the nightclub and was later seen in a heated argument with another patron of the nightclub. Some witnesses said that the owner of the nightclub was assaulted, but she steadfastly denied this. Barnett was released from jail after he posted a $500 bond, and he attended the preliminary stages of Brett Favre’s charity softball tournament later that day. However, he left before the actual event started. The bar’s owner later said that the whole incident had been blown out of proportion and that Barnett had been provoked by female fans who were anxiously seeking autographs. According to the bar owner and several bartenders, Barnett and other Packers players were at the bar when these fans entered, interrupting the players and hoping for autographs. When many of the players, including Barnett, declined to sign the autographs, one of the fans threw a drink at Nick Barnett’s face. It was then that Barnett shoved the woman away and she fell to the ground.
