Notre Dame CB Devin Butler pleads not guilty on felonies

Share

Notre Dame cornerback Devin Butler had a plea of not guilty submitted on his behalf Wednesday after his weekend arrest for an altercation outside of a bar.

The senior was arrested Saturday and accused of tackling a police officer and punching him during the altercation. Butler was charged Tuesday with felony counts of resisting law enforcement and battery against a public safety official. 

Head coach Brian Kelly has already announced an indefinite suspension for Butler, as he was already out until October with a broken foot. 

After Butler's court appearance at St. Joseph Superior Court on Wednesday, he declined comment. Butler is scheduled for an initial hearing on Sept. 1.
